George R.R. Martin recently addressed My Lady Jane's cancelation, and the Game of Thrones author is right about the fate of Amazon's historical fantasy series. Based on the first book in the Lady Janies series, My Lady Jane premiered on Prime Video in June 2024 — and it quickly proved to be one of the best historical fantasy TV shows to come out in recent years. But despite its fun, feminist premise and compelling central romance, My Lady Jane was canceled ahead of season 2.
GRRM Is Right: Why My Lady Jane Season 2 Should Happen The Amazon Series Deserves A Proper Ending Close In his Not a Blog post, Martin wrote of My Lady Jane's cancelation:"Jane deserved more than nine days, or eight episodes." He's right about this, especially since the Amazon series didn't get a proper ending. Although Lady Jane Grey and Lord Guildford Dudley ride off together at the end of My Lady Jane season 1, the series doesn't resolve all its major storylines.
Fantasy shows tend to have a more difficult time getting renewed by streaming services, and this could have to do with the hefty budgets they require. Such projects need higher viewership numbers to justify more seasons, while lower-budget series can be considered successful with smaller returns. This is one of the harsh realities of the fantasy genre, though it's clear My Lady Jane still has a hefty fan base — and they're willing to fight for the series' return.
