Director: Jamie Babbit and Stefan Schwartz

My Lady Jane (2024) reimagines Tudor history through a delightfully irreverent lens, weaving fantasy into the real-life plight of Lady Jane Grey. In this alternate 16th-century England, the reluctant queen is thrust into power by royal decree and the magical revelation that her husband, Guildford, is an Ethian—a human with the ability to shapeshift into a horse. Together, they navigate court conspiracies, existential threats, and buried truths in a world divided by species and power.
Under the guidance of creator and co-showrunner Gemma Burgess, and directed by Jamie Babbit and Stefan Schwartz, the tone is a playful blend of #HistoricalFantasy, #RomanticComedy, and #AlternateReality. Empowering themes of identity, social justice, and rebellion pulse through the narrative, framed by witty dialogue and satirical world-building. A snooty court becomes a stage for both comedic subversion and heartfelt alliances.
Emily Bader’s Jane is a spirited heroine who reshapes her fate, while Edward Bluemel’s Guildford balances vulnerability and surreal charisma across two forms. The supporting cast—including Anna Chancellor and Rob Brydon—adds depth and levity, rendering royal intrigue both absurd and emotionally resonant.
