Renegade Nell (originally developed as The Ballad of Renegade Nell) is a British historical fantasy, action-adventure television series created and written by Sally Wainwright and starring Louisa Harland. Produced by Lookout Point for Disney+, the series premiered on 29 March 2024.[2][3] Set in a fantasy version of 18th-century England, Nell Jackson (Harland) becomes a highwaywoman—and the most feared person in the country—after being framed for murder. With the help of a magical sprite called Billy Blind, Nell realizes that her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined.[4] In July 2024, Disney canceled the series after one season.[5]
