Prime Video’s My Lady Jane isn’t just the fantasy rom-com of the year, but it might also be the period drama of the year. (We said what we said.) The historical reimagining that chooses to give Lady Jane Grey and her husband, Guildford Dudley, a happy ending is so much more than a joyous romp—it’s romance at its best, with emotions heightened and heat turned up to white-hot levels. Affectionally called JaneFord by the fans, it’s safe to say they’re it for the summer. They’re the kind of ship we’re sure will end up on every Best of the Year list.
Bridgerton was an effortless success because while we were amid a global pandemic with very little to do, the show was also based on popular books that’d been around for twenty years. While also based on books, My Lady Jane is newer and still finding its wings, so the wondrous uproar the series is causing is bound to bring exceptional numbers for authors, producers, and stars alike.
With their sizzling banter and growing friendship, JaneFord begins as an arranged marriage and ends with the type of happily ever after that feels earned. If fans aren’t fortunate enough to get a second season of the show, we could be confident in the fact that Jane and Guildford will remain happily entranced by each other. They’re going to last and persist in choosing one another through everything. Nevertheless, we need the second season because it’d be everything to have more opportunities to watch Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel show off their chops and continue bringing to our screens a romance that will live rent-free in people’s minds for a long, long time.
Interestingly, as a series, My Lady Jane utilizes modern music so well that it’s only natural the fan videos that follow would be just as captivating. There’s plenty to appreciate about JaneFord’s relationship, but at the top of the list is the vulnerability, the stunning moments of affection that come to life through their shared intimacy and vital conversations. Theirs is the kind of romance built on trust and little moments that mean far more than what’s on the screen. It’s a relationship full of profound longing, making them especially perfect for the angsty, heart-pounding bridges Taylor Swift songs are known to feature.
Now, without further ado, here are some of the best JaneFord fan videos out at the moment.
