Okay, is it just us, or is it always the TV shows you’re JUST getting into suddenly get canceled?

We’ve had some pretty surprising cancelations recently. For example, the entertaining Renegade Nell was canceled on Disney+ after just one season (which is a SHAME, y’all). We recently learned that the seventh season of The Good Doctor will be its last. Well, another show that we THOUGHT was super popular just got the axe — and we’re not entirely happy about it.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon has canceled My Lady Jane after just one season. The period drama was set to become the next Bridgerton…but with a fantasy twist. The show is based on a novel by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows and offers an alternate world and fantasy retelling of the saga of England’s Lady Jane Grey, who was VERY briefly the Queen of England.

The story begins by introducing Lady Jane (Emily Bader) as a headstrong, smart young woman who wants to do anything but get married but somehow ends up getting married anyway and then goes on to become Queen of England. Set in 16th-century England, the series also introduces shapeshifters called Ethians, who can take the form of people or animals. Jane sympathizes with Ethians, which causes problems once she rises to power.

The series was set up to be Amazon’s period drama answer to Bridgerton and received mostly favorable reviews. However, it seems viewers didn’t catch on to the show: it didn’t break into Nielsen’s top 10 streaming charts a month after its release.

Of course, this could highlight a big problem with new shows on streaming services: viewers often feel burned by these cancelations and won’t commit to a series unless it has more than one season. This results in shows getting canceled before they have a chance to hit their stride. So, as they say, another one bites the dust.
