TechRadar: Watch 'My Lady Jane' on Prime Video After Netflix's 'My Brilliant Career'

TechRadar recommends following Netflix's 'My Brilliant Career' with Prime Video's 'My Lady Jane' as a wild period-drama double bill.

The piece notes that "My Brilliant Career," based on Miles Franklin's 1901 novel, centers on Sybylla, played by Philippa Northeast, a confident and outspoken young woman forced to move into her grandmother's house to be prepared for high society. According to the article, Sybylla is convinced she does not want a husband but aspires to become a published writer, making her a character the author calls "a woman before her time."

The recommended follow-up, "My Lady Jane," is described as an alternate-history retelling of Tudor England in which the 16-year-old Jane avoids her real-life nine-day reign and execution by dealing with magical shape-shifters. The article highlights a connection between the two shows: actress Anna Chancellor appears in both, playing Grandmother Bossier in "My Brilliant Career" and Lady Frances in "My Lady Jane."

TechRadar's article also points out that "My Lady Jane" was cancelled after one season despite a positive reception, but maintains that it remains a perfect companion to "My Brilliant Career." The author praises both shows as "pithy, bright, witty, and full of hilarious subversion," likening them to "long-lost sisters being reunited for the first time in decades."

The article was written by Jasmine, a streaming staff writer for TechRadar, and urges readers to stop reading and start streaming. It does not provide additional details about the production schedules or release dates of either series.
