SUBJECT: Saving My Lady Jane Keeps Customers Happy
To Whom It May Concern,
Amazon Prime has the chance to bring back My Lady Jane. Simply put: renewing My Lady Jane keeps customers happy. Fans of this beloved show are looking for one more season to cover the second half of the novel from which it is adapated. The scripts are written - it just needs to be put back into production.
Prime just scored a massive hit with My Fault London. A remake when the originals aren't even all released? Why absolutely. My Fault London is a smashing success because Prime let a woman writer and two women directors take the helm. The whole film is shot from the female gaze. It delivers a strong heroine and an extremely devoted down bad lover boy in a relationship that is taboo but should not be. Coincidentally that last sentence perfectly describes My Lady Jane as well. The fans who adore My Fault London would devour a second season of My Lady Jane, which is also shot from the female gaze and has women at the head of production and writing.
My Lady Jane has sparked discourse across all social media platforms and retains its place in pop culture. It was on the Best Shows of 2024 for over 30 publications including The New York Times, Variety, Teen Vogue, Paste Magazine, and The Daily Mail. My Lady Jane was the only Prime show on the The New York Times list and the only Prime show to make the cut for Variety. Additionally it made dozens of lists decrying the cancellation including Collider saying "The cancellation of My Lady Jane is going to be the worst call of the year and could be a top contender for the worst cancellation of the decade."
- Over 114,000 petition signatures.
- A glowing review from the legendary George R. R. Martin himself—in stark contrast to his response to the show based on his own work.
- Fans have added 12 points to its Rotten Tomatoes audience score, which now sits at 90%.
- A GoFundMe that raised over $6,000, delivered 1,000 toy ponies directly to Prime Video’s London HQ and a singing telegram from TikToker Joy Brooker outside Amazon MGM Studios in L.A.
- Over $1200 donated directly to the Library Foundation of Los Angeles to help with recovery efforts.
- National and international press coverage in Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times, People, US Weekly, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, The Wrap, Collider, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Viewership numbers are set to explode when Emily Bader’s starring turn in Netflix’s People We Meet On Vacation comes out this year. The film will be the first of Emily Henry’s works to be adapted—an author who has released five Number 1 best sellers in four years and sold more than 7 million copies of her books in the US alone since 2020. Prime has the opportunity to corner the Emily Bader fan market now and lock in future growth when People We Meet On Vacation inevitably sends viewers looking for more content with the actress.
Renewing My Lady Jane would be a massive win for Prime: a critical and fan favorite with a dedicated, active online fan base, organic reach and buzz in the U.S., U.K., and abroad, and stars whose burgeoning careers will only drive more viewers to the show. New fans express outrage every day across social media. Right now is the perfect moment to announce that Amazon Prime has rescued Lady Jane Grey from a second untimely axe.
Many thanks for your consideration,
