The Lady on Binge trailer – BINGE today released the official trailer for the new four-part drama series THE LADY, with a double episode premiere February 23 on BINGE.
BAFTA-winning actress Mia McKenna Bruce (How To Have Sex) takes on the role of former royal aide Jane Andrews, whose rags to riches fairy tale fell apart when she was convicted of murder. She stars alongside Natalie Dormer (Game Of Thrones), who plays Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, and Ed Speleers (Outlander, Downton Abbey) as Thomas Cressman.
Based on true events, the partly fictionalised drama charts the rise and fall of former royal dresser Jane Andrews. Once a young working-class girl, Jane answered an advertisement in the magazine The Lady and, to the astonishment of her friends and family, became the Duchess of York’s dresser at Buckingham Palace.
Moving amongst the highest social circles in Britain, Jane secured a place in the upper-classes, only to lose her job with the Duchess after nine years of service.
Still reeling from her fall from grace, Jane met charismatic businessman Thomas Cressman and fell deeply in love – but soon cracks began to develop in the romance she had pinned all her hopes on, with disastrous consequences.
THE LADY is produced by multi award-winning independent production company, Left Bank Pictures, a Sony Pictures Television Company, producers of the acclaimed series The Crown. It also features a stellar line-up of acting talent including Philip Glenister, Claire Skinner, Laura Aikman, Ophelia Lovibond, Mark Stanley, Daniel Ryan and Sean Teale. THE LADY is distributed by Sony Pictures Television.
