Bafta-nominated Cork actress Máiréad Tyers is set to star in Prime Video's new swashbuckling "romantasy" about tragic Nine Days Queen, Lady Jane Grey.
My Lady Jane, inspired by the best-selling books, also stars Dominic Cooper, Anna Chancellor and Rob Brydon and all eight episodes launch on Prime Video on 27 June.
25-year-old Ballinhassig native Tyers will play Susanna in the new series and she has previously appeared in Disney+ series Extraordinary, for which she received a British Academy Television Award nomination.
She also appeared in Kenneth Branagh 2021’s film Belfast as Auntie Eileen and the 2023 action thriller Dead Shot.
My Lady Jane is set during England’s Tudor period and is billed as a radical retelling of royal history, in which King Henry VIII’s son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, Lady Jane Grey is not beheaded in 1553, and neither is her husband Guildford.
The official synopsis reads, "At the centre of this swashbuckling new series is the brilliant and headstrong Jane, who is shocked to be crowned queen and finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head), My Lady Jane is an epic tale of true love and high adventure".
The cast is led by newcomer Emily Bader in the titular role of Jane Grey alongside Edward Bluemel (Killing Eve) as Guildford Dudley, Cooper as Lord Seymour and Brydon as Lord Dudley.
Also in the cast are Henry Ashton (Outlander) as Guildford’s brother, Stan, and Isabella Brownson (Napoleon) and Robyn Betteridge (Wheel of Time) as Jane’s sisters.
