'The Lady' TV Series to Follow Murderer With Close Royal Family Connection

ITV’s upcoming ‘The Lady’ series will follow the story of Jane Andrews and her path from the Duchess of York’s personal dresser to convicted murderer

News Licensing / MEGA The Crown producer Left Bank Pictures is bringing a new true crime series called The Lady to ITV, which will tell the story of Jane Andrews — convicted killer and former dresser to the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson. The four-part drama series will offer a “partially fictionalized” account of Andrews’ life, following her path from abject poverty to trusted confidant of a royal family member to murderer when, in 2001, she was convicted of stabbing her lover Thomas Cressman to death with a kitchen knife. “Debbie’s compelling and brilliant scripts re-evaluate what we think we know of Jane Andrews and the events that led to the tragic end of Thomas Cressman’s life,” Helen Ziegler, who will oversee the production on behalf of ITV and ITVX, said in a Wednesday, December 4, statement.
