The Lady Grace Mysteries available to watch on BBC iPlayer

BBC Children’s & Education have launched The Lady Grace Mysteries, a vibrant new drama series bringing the excitement, humour and intrigue of Queen Elizabeth I’s court to life for 7+ audiences on CBBC and BBC iPlayer.

The series introduces 14-year-old Grace Cavendish, a spirited lady-in-waiting with a sharp mind, a strong sense of justice and one enormous secret: she is the Queen’s top secret teenage spy. Moving through the glittering but treacherous world of the Tudor court, Grace must juggle her official duties with undercover missions as she tackles everything from stolen crowns and mysterious hauntings to political plots and deadly traitors hiding in plain sight (Claudia Winkleman not included).

With picture perfect palaces, sweeping gardens, secret passageways and lavish royal celebrations, The Lady Grace Mysteries brings the Elizabethan Golden Age to the screen in a way that feels both authentic and fresh. Alongside her best friends, Ellie, a fearless scullery maid, and Masou, an ambitious young actor, Grace’s world is packed with daring escapades, heartfelt friendships and relatable teenage drama, just with more ruffs, royal balls and assassination attempts.

Sarah Muller, Head of Commissioning 7+, said: “The Lady Grace Mysteries is everything we love in a co-viewing series: it’s warm, funny and full of adventure, with a brilliant young heroine at its heart. It blends mystery, history and big emotional stories in a way that feels fresh and exciting for today’s audience, while giving parents and grandparents something richly nostalgic and visually spectacular to enjoy too. We’re so proud of this show and can’t wait for families to discover Grace’s world together.”
