Mia McKenna-Bruce, who gained recognition in the series How To Have Sex, will star in a new historical drama for ITV. She’ll be joined by Ed Speelers, known for Outlander, and Natalie Dormer, famous for her role in Game of Thrones.
From the creators of The Crown comes The Lady, a story about Jane Andrews. She was a working-class woman who worked as a dresser for Sarah Ferguson at Buckingham Palace, but her life took a dramatic turn when she was accused of murder.
Jane worked in a prestigious position at the Duchess of York’s office for nine years before losing her job. Afterwards, she met and fell in love with a charming entrepreneur named Thomas Cressman (Speelers).

As cracks started showing in their relationship, disastrous consequences followed.
Dormer stars as Ferguson, and the cast also includes Philip Glenister, Claire Skinner, Laura Aikman, Ophelia Lovibond, Mark Stanley, Daniel Ryan, and Sean Teale.


Initial photos reveal actress McKenna-Bruce, playing Jane, alongside Sarah Ferguson, both sporting matching red skirt suits.
Jane’s life has drastically changed; she’s now being pursued by paparazzi following a disturbing murder, a far cry from her previously luxurious lifestyle. We finally see Speelers playing Cressman, as the couple escapes for a seaside retreat.


Next, McKenna-Bruce will appear in the Netflix mystery series Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, which is based on Agatha Christie’s 1929 novel, The Seven Dials Mystery. She will play a character named Lady.
The cast includes Indira Varma as Lady Bundle Brent, alongside Helena Bonham Carter as Lady Caterham and Martin Freeman as Superintendent Battle. Corey Mylchreest, known for Queen Charlotte, plays Gerry Wade, and Edward Bluemel from Killing Eve appears as Jimmy Thesiger.
Chris Chibnall, the showrunner of Doctor Who from 2018 to 2022 starring Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, wrote the murder mystery.
The Lady will air on ITV.
Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials premieres on Netflix on 15 January 2026.
