First Look Images Revealed For Upcoming Disney+ Original Series “Renegade Nell”
Disney+ just dropped a sneak peek at the upcoming UK Original Series, “Renegade Nell.” It’s set to hit screens worldwide in Spring 2024, exclusively on Disney+. The series is the brainchild of BAFTA award-winning writer Sally Wainwright, the genius behind “Happy Valley” and “Gentleman Jack,” and it’s being directed by Ben Taylor, known for his work on “Sex Education” and “Catastrophe.”
Louisa Harland, from “Derry Girls,” is taking on the lead role of Nell. She’s this quick-witted and fearless young woman who gets wrongly accused of murder and ends up becoming the notorious highwaywoman of 18th-century England. And just when things can’t get any wilder, a magical spirit named Billy Blind, played by Nick Mohammed from “Ted Lasso,” enters the scene.
