Renegade Nell: release date, cast, trailer and everything you need to know
Disney+ is weeks away from launching its next must-watch show with Renegade Nell. Streaming later this month, the fantasy action-adventure series centres on a young woman who is framed for murder and forced into a life of crime in 1705 England.
The eight-part British original is written and created by BAFTA-winning Happy Valley creator Sally Wainwright, with acclaimed Sex Education director Ben Taylor serving as lead director. Speaking to Disney in 2021, executive producer Faith Penhale praised Wainwright’s creation of an “utterly original [and] endlessly entertaining world.“
“In Nell Jackson, Sally has conjured up yet another instantly iconic female lead,“ she said. “Her wit, warmth and boundless capacity for invention will make our journey through Nell’s riotous imagined life a very special ride indeed and viewers of all ages around the world will love the way Sally blends history and magic to create an utterly original, endlessly entertaining world.”

What is Renegade Nell about?
Renegade Nell follows the quick-witted and courageous Nell Jackson as she goes on the run with her sisters after being framed for murder. After turning to highway robbery to survive, Nell unexpectedly becomes the most notorious outlaw in 18th-century England.
Aided by her superpowered sidekick – a plucky little sprite called Billy Blind – Nell soon realises that fate has put her on the wrong side of the law for a reason, a reason much bigger than she could have ever imagined: to defeat a magical plot against the Queen of England.
