TV changed for me forever when The Crown premiered. Not only did it further solidify Netflix as a permanent competitor in the television space, but it also is a foundational title when it comes to biopics. The series wrapped in 2024, and if there's a The Crown-shaped hole in your life these days, then I have the perfect show for you: BritBox and ITV's new series The Lady! It follows Jane Andrews, who was a dresser for Sarah Ferguson in Buckingham Palace...before she was convicted of murder.


Here's all the info you need to know. Keep reading for everything we know about The Lady, coming to BritBox and ITV in 2026.
