Isabella Brownson, age 27, made her big screen debut last year with the movie Napoleon. She stars as Katherine Grey in the latest hit Amazon Prime show, My Lady Jane.
Brownson plays the younger sister of Lady Jane Grey in the show starring Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel as leads. The show also has Kate O’Flynn as Mary and child actress Robyn Betteridge as Margaret Grey.
Brownson’s character has a different fate on the show compared to real life. At the end of season one, Katherine marries William, the son of Lord Seymour. In real life, Katherine secretly marries Edward Seymour without obtaining permission from Queen Elizabeth I.
My Lady Jane has already received the crown of one of the best new shows of 2024, so there’s little to no doubt that it will get season two. The show’s creator, Gemma Burgess, has teased the fans by saying season 2 is always a possibility.
