, who briefly held the English throne between the reigns of Edward VI and “Bloody” Mary I, that’s to be expected. After all, Jane was only Queen for nine days in 1553 before she was deposed by her cousin, the aforementioned “Bloody” Mary, and later executed in 1554 alongside her husband, Lord Guildford Dudley. At the time, she was only a teenager, likely only 16 or 17 years old.co-written by Brodi Ashton, Cynthia Hand, and Jodi Meadows, she takes center stage.
Historically, of course, Jane was deposed, and ultimately executed, after only nine days on the throne, and the series sticks to… some of that. However, the magical twist obviously opens the door for some alterations, so historical purists should prepare themselves for the series to take some generous narrative liberties. Still, Jane’s historical title of “The Nine Days Queen” adds an effective ticking clock to the series, even if Jane herself is unaware that her reign is doomed for brevity.
As for the rest of the cast, it’s a little hit or miss, with Mary and Norfolk coming across as pretty one-note cartoonish villains, and several other supporting characters winding up frustratingly underdeveloped. But there are also some bright spots, particularly in the scheming parents; Chancellor and Brydon do great work in their respective roles as Lady Frances and Lord Dudley, imbuing their morally ambiguous characters with more depth than their initial introductions would suggest.
