Stunning shots of a Kent castle feature in the trailer of a new TV series set to air on Prime Video next month.

Many of the scenes in historical drama My Lady Jane were filmed at Dover Castle after crews descended on the town in August 2022.

The trailer for the eight-part series has now been released bringing some of the scenes to life.

Inspired by the best-selling book, My Lady Jane is the radical retelling of English royal history, in which King Henry VIII’s son Edward does not die of tuberculosis, Lady Jane Grey is not beheaded, and neither is her scoundrel of a husband Guildford.

At the centre of the story is headstrong Jane, who is shocked to be crowned queen and finds herself the target of nefarious villains coming for the crown (and her head).

Actors in the series include Rob Brydon, known for his role as Uncle Bryn in the hit BBC show Gavin and Stacey, Anna Chancellor from Four Weddings and a Funeral, and Emily Bader from Fresh Kills.

It also features Mamma Mia’s Dominic Cooper who previously filmed in Kent when cast in the BBC One show The Gold.

White trailers appeared in a car park along the A20, near Woolcomber Street and opposite the Travelodge hotel, and around the Grade I-listed castle in September 2022.

Access to the Keep Yard was restricted during filming and The Great Tower on some days had to close completely.

A video captured horses on the battlements and a number of lit beacons flickering in the wind.

A spokesperson from the Kent County Council (KCC) Kent Film Office said: “It was great to host the filming of ‘My Lady Jane’ at Dover Castle for two weeks in November 2022.

“The castle doubled for the Tower of London and the filming used many local people as extras.

“KCC supported them along with Dover District Council to arrange for additional parking to facilitate the large crew and cast vehicles as well as maintain access for visitors to the attraction.”

The show will be released on Prime Video on June 27.

English Heritage and Prime Video have been approached for comment.
