EMAIL:

The petition to save My Lady Jane has reached 102,000 signatures just a few months after cancellation. A petition for a show that was given only seven weeks on air has far surpassed the petitions for other canceled shows, including those with large existing fan bases.

On Wednesday, two of Prime's main rivals, Netflix and Hulu/Disney+ each renewed a show. Netflix gave a greenlight to a second season of another book adaptation, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder. The show features Henry Ashton, who plays a beloved character in My Lady Jane. Hulu/Disney+ announced a second season of The Artful Dodger, which is another period piece with a significant romantic element.

The creator of The Artful Dodger, James McNamara cited fan outcry on social media as well as a fan petition with 25,000 signatures. The Artful Dodger fans have had almost a full year to build up their presence, while in under three months, the petition to save My Lady Jane has over 100,000 signatures. Streaming customers took to social media yesterday lamenting that Hulu/Disney+ and Netflix know how to listen to customers and expressing hope that Amazon Prime can do the same for My Lady Jane.

The social media presence for My Lady Jane has only grown since cancellation. TikTok videos and Instagram Reels featuring content from the show have hundreds of millions of views. In fact, just one creator has over 100 million views across TikTok and Instagram. New people discover the show daily, just to find out that it was canceled. Every day, the list of angry and upset customers grows longer. This incredible response underscores the deep and unwavering connection fans have with the series, demonstrating that, despite its cancellation, they remain absolutely committed and will not give up.

We have noticed that the show has been removed from Originals and Exclusives as well as the Prime Video landing page in general for many viewers, especially in the United States and United Kingdom. But despite this challenge, we have only increased the social media presence of My Lady Jane.

The cast of My Lady Jane is set for exponential career growth in 2025. Emily Bader signed with one of the biggest agencies in Hollywood, CAA while she was filming People We Meet on Vacation, a Netflix adaptation of the book with the same name. Leaked behind the scenes footage and images from that set garnered millions of views from fans eager to see the first Emily Henry adaptation brought to screen. Edward Bluemel has a starring role in Netflix's upcoming The Seven Dials Mystery alongside Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman. Henry Ashton has a significant role in the upcoming Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight as well as his continued role in A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

We urge you to recognise both the existing success and the future potential of My Lady Jane and take the necessary steps to give the show the chance it deserves. Doing so will not only honor the show's remarkable achievements but also solidify Prime Video’s reputation as a leader in original and audience-focused programming. Allow My Lady Jane to stand as a testament to the remarkable outcomes that can be achieved when creative, female-centred storytelling is paired with strategic support from Prime Video, setting a new standard as a leading platform committed to fostering ingenious and inclusive content.
