SEE FIRST IMAGES FROM HISTORY DISTORTING COSTUME DRAMA MY LADY JANE ARRIVING TO PRIME VIDEO THIS SUMMER

  MY LADE JANE SERIES  

HISTORY GETS COMPLETELY DISTORTED

And not just for the blackwashing but they literally distort what really happened and change the ending in MY LADE JANE new costume TV series, could be a parody as well, which will hit Prime Video this summer June 27th based on a book by Cynthia Hand. It is sort of a fantasy drama as in it Jane Gray is not beheaded and actually becomes the queen of England.

 IT IS BASICALLY: FUCK HISTORY!

Gird your loins for the tragic tale of Lady Jane Grey, the young Tudor noblewoman who was Queen of England for nine days and then beheaded in 1553... F*ck that. We're retelling history the way it should have happened: the damsel in distress saves herself. This is an epic tale of true love and high adventure set in an alt-universe of action, history, fantasy, comedy, romance, and rompy-pompy. Buckle up.

 

 WHO IS AT THE ROYAL COURT?

At the centre of the series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane, played by Emily Bader, who is unexpectedly crowned queen overnight and finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head) in an epic tale of true love and high adventure, where the damsel in distress saves herself, her true love and then the Kingdom. Edward Bluemel stars as Guildford Dudley her future husband and Jordan Peters as King Edward. Dominic Cooper plays Lord Seymour, Anna Chancellor plays Jane’s mother, Lady Frances Grey, and Rob Brydon plays Lord Dudley, Guildford’s father. Jim Broadbent plays the Duke of Leicester, Jane’s uncle. Additional cast includes Henry Ashton as Guildford’s brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson and Robyn Betteridge as Jane’s sisters. Kate O’Flynn and Abbie Hern portray the King’s sisters Princess Mary and Princess Bess. Máiréad Tyers, Joe Klocek and Michael Workeye also appear. Hope we get a trailer soon but it already looks like utter garbage just judging by the atrocious storyline.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT ON DISNEY PLUS HISTORICAL MINI TV SERIES SHARDLAKE WITH ARTHUR HUGHES, SEAN BEAN AND ANTHONY BOYLE! AIR DATE AND TRAILER

 SHARDLAKE AIRDATE IS HERE 

FOR DISNEY'S NEW EPIC MINI TV SERIES

Disney Plus has graced us with the new trailer and streaming launch date (May 1st) for their and Hulu's historical mystery series SHARDLAKE which,

Shardlake starts this May on Disney Plus

based on the best-selling novels by CJ Sansom, sees lovely Arthur Hughes playing Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer with an acute sense of justice and one of the few honest men in a world beset with scheming and plots. Shardlake works for Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) the dangerous and all-powerful right-hand man to Henry VIII. 

 

 STORY OF SHARDLAKE SERIES

Despite Shardlake’s unwavering loyalty to Cromwell and the Crown, his position in society is unfavoured due to his appearance, as a person living with scoliosis during the Tudor period, suffering the indignity of being abused as a “crookback” wherever he turns. Anthony Boyle plays the cocky and good-looking Jack Barak, who leaves Shardlake unsure of whether he is an assistant, or Cromwell’s spy. Drenched in mystery, suspense and deception, this four-part drama, is an eerie whodunnit adventure, set in 16th century England during the dissolution of the monasteries. Shardlake’s sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery and it is now imperative for Cromwell’s own political survival that Shardlake both solves the murder and closes the monastery. He leaves Shardlake in no doubt that failure is not an option. Cromwell insists that he is accompanied by Jack Barak to Scarnsea, where the duo are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order. Check out the new trailer below:
