VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: Emily Bader & Anna Chancellor Reveal Their Wildest Moment On Set Of ‘My Lady Jane’

Emily Bader and Anna Chancellor sat down to share their thoughts on their new fantastical series My Lady Jane in their new uInterview.

My Lady Jane is a new fantasy/romance series that follows the historical figure Lady Jane Grey and her husband Guildford, who live in the reign of Edward, the son of Henry VIII. When Jane is unexpectedly crowned queen overnight she becomes the target of criminals who want her throne and her life.

Bader recalled the wildest thing she had to do for the show. “For me, the craziest thing I had to do was the scene where Jane is riding a horse down a castle bridge in the cliffs of Dover—“

Chancellor jumped in excitedly; “And there was a storm—“

Bader laughed, “It was the craziest actor moment ever. And there’s fire on the sides.”

Chancellor added, “And there was mud!”

The series was adapted for the screen by Gemma Burgess. It was originally a novel by Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton and Cynthia Hand which examined a historical reimagined life of Lady Jane Grey.  

Chancellor and Bader speculated on what they hoped the audience would take away from the show.

“I hope they have fun. It is such a fun show. And I think the thing that’s so great about this show is that it’s so all-encompassing…it doesn’t fit into this little box of genre,” Bader said.

Chancellor agreed, “It’s very difficult to second-guess this show.” Bader affirmed, “It doesn’t take itself too seriously.”

The real Lady Jane Grey, born in 1537, had the shortest reign in British history with just nine days as queen. The great-granddaughter of Henry VII, Jane inherited the crown from her cousin Edward VI on July 9, 1553.

My Lady Jane can be streamed on Prime Video.
