The series is out this June

EE THE HISTORY DISTORTING TRAILER

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. You can catch the first trailer below the post. You can also check out the first poster which is probably one of the ugliest posters we have had the displeasure to see in our lives. Such atrocity!

 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.

HOLLYWOOD SPY'S GUIDE THROUGH ALL THE NEW PERIOD SET SHOWS OF 2023: FROM WILD WEST, 18TH CENTURY ENGLAND, 15TH CENTURY BELGRADE, PARIS, HAWAII AND TUDOR COURT TO IMPERIAL RUSSIA AND NAUTILUS

 2023 PERIOD SET SERIES 

THE ULTIMATE LIST IS HERE

Well, it is not especially ultimate as, unlike 2022 that gave us quite a lot of shows on queens and empresses, freshly launched 2023 looks rather bleak when it comes to our favourite period set genre. Out of the returning shows we

can expect new seasons of Valhalla, Wheel of Time, Serpent Queen, Sisi, Empress, Gilded Age, Domina and Sanditon, but here are the new ones: Sky should finally launch its wild west set adventure DJANGO starring Matthias Schoenaerts as the legendary gunslinger searching for his daughter. FX might finally bring us the new adaptation of SHOGUN sometime this year starring Cosmo Jarvis as the 17th century sailor who becomes a samurai. Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano also star. BBC will probably give us GALLOWS POLE set in the 18th century industrial revolution in Yorkshire, and possibly TEN POUND POMS with Michelle Keegan in which a group of Brits leave post-

war Britain in 1956 to embark on an adventure in Australia. Amazon Prime Video has already set cast for MY LADY JANE which brings the history of the saddest queen of England ever - she ruled just a few weeks. Dominic Cooper stars.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ITV?

British channel ITV and their newly launched streamer ITVX are to bring us TOM JONES series which will also air on PBS Masterpiece this spring starring Solly McLeod as the titular hero of the four part picaresque

Tom Jones will have just four episodes this spring

story about young man's complicated journey to find real love in the 18th century England. We might also get to see Iain De Caestercker as King Arthur in THE WINTER KING in which a former warrior now turned monk, tells the story of how Arthur became the lord of war despite the illegitimacy of his throne.

2023 OFFER FROM NETFLIX

Netflix does not really have much in offer from the genre. February should bring us Italian series THE LAW ACCORDING TO LIDIA POET with Matilda de Angelis. Forbidden from practicing law, a woman prepares an appeal to overturn the court's decision in this true 19th century story of Lidia Poët, Italy's first female lawyer. Poe's THE FALL OF THE HOUSE

Beside the new season of Catherine the Great series, this time titled VELIKAYA: THE GOLDEN AGE in which Liza Boyarska takes over the

APPLE TO LEAD THE GENRE

Surprisingly enough, Apple TV Plus will probably dominate the genre this year. They have THE BUCCANEERS set in the 1870s when a bunch of rich American girls are trying to find a posh English husband during

We are also not used to getting costume drama from Disney Plus, but this year they are bringing us THE BALLAD OF RENEGADE NELL about an 18th century female renegade who will cross paths with Queen Anne and play

RISE OF THE RAVEN

Now, I am not sure this one will be done for airing this year, but it might: RISE OF THE RAVEN is this year's most expensive epic series from Central Europe done for Hungarian TV2, Austrian ORF and our dear Beta Film. Based on Bán Mór’s bestselling novels, the ten part series follows Hungarian warrior Janos Hunyadi, who defeated the Ottoman army in 1456 at the Battle of Belgrade, halting its march across Europe. Set among the scandals, political power plays and court intrigues of medieval Europe, the $30 million series is nevertheless a human story at heart, with Gellért L. Kádár playing Hunyadi, and Vivien Rujder as his life partner, Elizabeth Szilagyi. Laurence Rupp, Murathan Muslu and Rade Sherbedgia also star.

Amazon has just cast a number of actors in their historical eight part series MY LADE JANE which imagines the rise and reign of Lady Jane Grey (Emily Bader).

infuriatingly attractive stranger with a dark secret, one that has the potential to get them both killed. But there are greater conspiracies afoot, like a plot to murder her cousin, King Edward (Jordan Peters, yep they are making the king black), and throw the entire kingdom into chaos. A sharp-tongued, warm-hearted story full of romance, adventure, and fantasy, it reveals that
