The fight of the fans: This is how the community wants to bring My Lady Jane back!
Following Prime Video's sudden cancellation of the popular series My Lady Jane, which was canceled after only a short eight-episode season in June 2024, fans have come together to start an online petition to revive the show. According to a report by movieweb.com, the petition collected over 60,000 signatures and continues to grow. Organizers argue that re-airing “My Lady Jane” would not only delight fans but could also lead to a significant increase in viewership and traffic on the streaming platform. The text of the petition emphasizes the incomprehensibility of the cancellation for the dedicated fan base.
The series “My Lady Jane,” based on the novel of the same name by Cynthia Hand, tells an imaginative story about the historical figure Lady Jane Grey, who ruled for just nine days before being executed. In keeping with the story, the character was not decapitated, which was significant for viewers. How option-news.at reported, the show has received a 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, highlighting the positive response from viewers and the announced efforts to save the series. The cancellation is perceived by fans as premature and unfair, especially given the chemistry between the cast and the overlap with other major series.
Massive fan campaign for the return
Fans have found various ways to express their displeasure over the cancellation. This includes rating the series on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, as well as sending emails to key people at Amazon. These actions are part of a broader movement that follows similar fan campaigns from other series that sought to bring back canceled shows. Aiming to convince Prime Video executives, the petitioners question why "My Lady Jane" was canceled so early and highlight the strong fan base willing to fight for the series.
The return of “My Lady Jane” could help Amazon at a time when other of their fantasy shows like “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” have received critical acclaim. This fan mobilization could be crucial in challenging Prime Video's strategy and potentially bringing back the series, which has the potential to retain a loyal viewer base.
