‘Renegade Nell’
Derry Girls standout Louisa Harland gets to be a new kind of Disney+ hero in Renegade Nell, an enchanting adventure series from the creator of Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack. Renegade Nell opens with Nellie “Nell” Jackson (Louisa Harland) stumbling onto a robbery in the woods. What shocks both highwayman and victim is the fact that the seemingly scrawny girl can fight like a superhero, leaping over carriages, punching full grown men away, and dodging bullets. After being reunited with her family, Nell’s “talents” draw the attention of the local magistrate’s evil son. Soon, Nell and her family are pulled into a dangerous battle between the poor and rich, good and evil, and natural fae world and the occult. Renegade Nell is a wonderful ride of show, complete with a star-making turn from Louisa Harland.
