Moreover, the campaign published on the internet urged users to check the ratings of the show on X.com, IMDB, and Rotten Tomatoes. Also, an email template released by the fans was sent out to the COO of Amazon Prime, Alberg Cheng, in which the fans penned their dejected feelings.
The template read, “I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment over the cancellation of My Lady Jane on Prime Video. As a loyal Prime Video member, I am genuinely shocked by this decision, and I am seriously considering ending my membership.”
It further stated, “I did not expect this from Amazon or Prime, companies that usually claim to value their customers. This cancellation and the widespread outcry it has sparked clearly show otherwise.”
The template also revealed that the plot of the show resonated with the audience on a “deeper level,” and the decision to cancel the show didn’t feel right.
My Lady Jane revolves around the story of Lady Jane Grey, who has been declared the Queen of the reign overnight. However, the path to the throne is not easy for her, as her enemies are ready to destroy her and gain power.
As per the logline of the show, “Lady Jane Grey and her husband Guildford lived during the reign of Edward, son of Henry VIII. She unexpectedly finds herself crowned Queen overnight and becomes the target of criminals who want her throne and her head.”
The first season of My Lady Jane is available to stream on Prime Video.
