My Lady Jane is a radical retelling of Lady Jane Grey. This time around, she doesn’t get beheaded. And her maid, Susannah, is an Ethian, a shapeshifter, who can change from animals to humans. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

My Lady Jane stars Emily Bader as Jane Grey, Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve) as Guildford Dudley, Jordan Peters (Pirates) as King Edward, Dominic Cooper (Preacher) as Lord Seymour, Anna Chancellor (Pennyworth) as Jane’s mother, Lady Frances Grey, and Rob Brydon (The Trip) as Lord Dudley, Guildford’s father, Jim Broadbent (The Duke) as the Duke of Leicester, Jane’s uncle, Henry Ashton (Creation Stories) as Guildford’s brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson (Napoleon) and Robyn Betteridge (Wheel of Time) as Jane’s sisters, Kate O’Flynn (Landscapers) and Abbie Hern (Enola Holmes 2) as the King’s sisters Princess Mary and Princess Bess respectively, and Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary) as Susannah. Creator Gemma Burgess (Brooklyn Girls trilogy) is co-showrunner/executive producer and Meredith Glynn (The Boys) is co-showrunner/executive producer.

I talked to Máiréad Tyers, who plays Susannah, about her character’s friendship with Jane, if she thinks Susannah ever considered revealing herself to Jane, if she could turn into any animal which animal would it be, and if she thinks Susannah thinks Jane is a bit self-centered.

My Lady Jane is now streaming on Prime Video on Amazon
