‘My Lady Jane’ fans rally behind online campaign to save Prime series from cancellation
LA Times“The Dudleys never say die” — and neither do the fans of “My Lady Jane.” Fans of the Prime Video series have rallied behind an online campaign petitioning to save the historical dramedy from cancellation. Prime Video announced on Aug. 16 that it would not renew “My Lady Jane” for a second season after the show failed to attract a wide audience or make Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings for originals, according to Deadline. “I am sorry and sad we can’t give you more.” When fans saw that Prime Video had yet to announce the renewal of the show’s second season they took action, launching an online campaign to “Save My Lady Jane.” Lauren Mullaney started a Change.org petition on July 15 demanding that the show return for a second season. The show takes creative liberties, reworking Jane’s tale into a “what if” scenario in which Jane, played by Emily Bader, and her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley, portrayed by Edward Bluemel, survive their historical fates.
