Let us introduce you to Nell Jackson. Nell is not like the other girls: she is wanted for murder and she is about to become the most famous outlaw England has ever seen. That is the premise of Renegade Nella new fantasy series that will arrive on Disney Plus in the coming months.
The trailer looks spectacular, but it's the credits that particularly interested me in this show. It has been written by Sally Wainwright, who wrote the exceptional police drama. Happy Valley and the equally exceptional Gentleman Jack, and directed by Sex education Ben Taylor. And it stars Louisa Harland, who played Orla McCool in Derry Girls.
Renegade Nell: what we know so far
Nell, played by Harland, is “a bright, brave young woman” whose life is turned upside down when she is framed for a murder she did not commit, and she turns to a life of crime as she stalks the roads of England as an increasingly feared highwayman. She becomes the most famous outlaw in 18th-century England, prompting Lady Eularia Moggerhangar, played by Joely Richardson, to exclaim that “if you haven't heard of Nell Jackson, then you're the only person in England who hasn't.” has done”.
Harland is joined by Nick Mohammed as Billy Blind, a magical spirit who appears to Nell and lets her know that her destiny is much greater than she could have ever imagined, and he is joined by Alice Kremelberg as Sofia Wilmot, Ényì Okoronkwo like Rasselas and Jake. Dunn as Thomas Blancheford Judging by the trailer, it's safe to assume that swashes will be doubled, the rich will be robbed, and, ahem, all Nell will be unleashed.
As Film Stories reports, the show is one of several interesting English-language shows coming to the top streaming service this year. A second season of one of the best Disney Plus shows – Extraordinary – will air starting March 6 and Sean Bean will star in the next – and currently unscheduled – fragmented lake. AND Rivalswhich will air later this year, will bring Dr. who is it David Tennant and the equally entertaining Danny Dyer together in a story based on the gripping 1980s novel by “bonkbuster queen” Jilly Cooper. The mind is stunned.
