WITH its promise of combat scenes, seduction and secret romance, My Woman Jane is about to rival this 12 months's raunchiest Regency present thus far, Bridgerton.
Out there June 27, Prime Video's new historic sequence, set in an alternate-fantasy Tudor world, is a revolutionary retelling of English royal historical past, presenting the lifetime of Tudor queen Woman Jane Gray in a very new mild.
Henry VIII's sickly first son, Edward, wouldn’t have succumbed to tuberculosis, whereas Henry's niece, Woman Jane Gray, infamously remembered because the '9 Day Queen', wouldn’t have been beheaded on the age of 17 to make approach for Mary I.
And, whereas Bridgerton has spicy scenes between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington – performed by the good-looking Luke Newton and the gorgeous Nicola Coughlan – My Woman Jane seems to be a worthy competitor on this erotic drama.
From Woman Jane Gray (newcomer Emily Bader) and Guildford Dudley’s (Intercourse Training’s Edward Bluemel) erotic dagger battles to shirtless bathe scenes and stolen kisses, viewers on the lookout for their subsequent royal journey received’t be dissatisfied.

Quick-paced and filled with wit, the sequence is described as 'an epic story' through which the indomitable Jane finally overcomes her critics and 'saves herself, her real love, after which the dominion.'
Whereas, because the trailer states, 'historical past remembers Jane as a damsel in misery, recognized for her loss of life moderately than her life', the brand new sequence paints a really completely different image of the regal girl as a 'hero', 'insurgent' and 'warrior'.
Fiercely centered on reaching independence – one thing only a few Tudor girls might aspire to – Jane confronts these holding her again, together with her depraved dad and mom who snigger at her, telling her that ‘no person cares what you need’.
My Woman Jane is impressed by the New York Occasions bestselling guide by American writer Cynthia Hand.
Chatting with Publishers Weekly, Hand stated: 'I wished to put in writing a novel about Woman Jane Gray, a strong-willed, bookish teenager in sixteenth century England.
'She sadly obtained an opportunity to turn into queen, however just for 9 days after which she was beheaded.
'I all the time liked studying the story of Zane Gray in historical past, aside from the ending. So, I believed, “Hey, I'm a author. I can provide her a unique ending”.'
