Rewrite and translate this title Edward Bluemel Talks My Lady Jane & Future Projects to Japanese between 50 and 60 characters. Do not include any introductory or extra text; return only the title in Japanese.

A assured presence among the calvary of Britain’s next wave of dexterous actors, Edward Bluemel is an increasingly recognisable entity in TV’s orbit. From theatre origins, Bluemel has gone on to appear in an assemblage of popular small screen pieces, from the devilishly entertaining Killing Eve to coming-of-age dramedy Sex Education and fantasy spectacle A Discovery of Witches.

Most recently, the 31-year-old starred opposite Emily Bader in Amazon Prime adaptation of My Lady Jane, in which he steepped into the leading love-interests shoes with aplomb. With plenty to come in 2025, Wonderland talk with Bluemel about his past, present and future—a feature accompanied by an exclusive editorial shot by Carys Huws.

How has your 2024 been?
Exciting and scary in equal measure. It has been an honour and a privilege to feel a wide range of emotions.

Was there a specific moment that you remember that launched your ambitions to become an actor? When was the time that you started to properly pursue it? 
I started to pursue acting as soon as i heard a rumour that you could make a career out of “showing off”.

What have been your career highlights so far? 
I got to act alongside one of my best friends and housemates this summer which felt really special. I feel very lucky to do what I do but I feel even luckier when I get to do it with people I love. 

Which character of yours do you feel closest to? Who resonated with you the most? 
I feel very close to all the characters I play. Maybe that’s because I think it’s important to find your similarities and work with them, maybe it’s because I’m just not a very transformative actor. I am at peace with both of these schools of thought.

You played the romantic lead in period drama My Lady Jane. How did you immerse yourself in the character? Did you revel in playing a role from history? What did you enjoy? What were the challenges? 
The character had been wildly changed from his historical self so i didn’t want to get bogged down in all that. Instead, I immersed myself in him by desperately trying to be both cool and sexy for the seven months of filming which yielded mixed results. It was the first time I’d played someone who had a strong obligation to be hot and brooding so in order to achieve that it was important to keep my confidence up during the shoot. I did this by trying to be as healthy as possible and by begging people to give me compliments on a regular basis. 

You’ve also appeared in We Might Regret This. How did you become involved in the show? Do you think you thrive in comedic roles?
I actually became involved because I went to school with one of the writers. She told me I had to audition so I’m very, very thankful to her—I love that show. I definitely find myself more comfortable in comedy because at my core is a silly little boy dressed as a clown. 

How was it being involved in modern iconic series’ like Killing Eve and Sex Education? 
Such a privilege. I learnt so much on those two jobs surrounded by incredible casts and crews. I hold both shows very close to my heart.

You’ve worked with an array of incredible talent, but who stands out to you as the most impressive? 
Emily Bader aka Jane in My Lady Jane. I regularly had to scrape my jaw off the floor after her takes. 

What’s a bucket list role for you? 
I would quite like to do a villain soon. It’s aiming high but I’d like something along the lines of Feathers McGraw from Wallace and Gromit minus the whole “penguin made of clay” thing.  

Outside of acting, what do you like to do? 
I run, I clean my teeth, I do laundry (badly), I buy too many jackets, I try and learn bossa nova guitar chords (also badly—they’re really hard), I reluctantly give away excess jackets, I text a bunch of group chats, I let my friends cook me delicious meals, I make small talk with baristas, etc.

Where would we find you on a Friday night? How about a Sunday morning?
On a Friday I’ll be letting one of my friends cook me a delicious meal and on the Sunday I’ll be making small talk with a barista. 

What have you got coming up in 2025?
I’m did an Agatha Christie adaptation for Netflix that should be out sometime next year called The Seven Dials Mystery. It was so fun to make and I hope it’s even more fun to watch.
