Disney+ has released the official trailer for Renegade Nell, the upcoming historical U.K. series, Comicbook.com reports. The heroine is faced with an accusation of murder against her in the action-filled clip as she tries to unfold the mystery of her corrupt society and bring the true murderer to justice, but not without some mischief in between. The trailer is available to view here.
According to ComicBook.com, the description continues to state, “Renegade Nell stars Louisa Harland (Derry Girls, Lost in London, Standby) in the leading role of “Nell Jackson” with Frank Dillane (The Essex Serpent, Fear the Walking Dead, Astral) as Charles Devereux, Alice Kremelberg (The Sinner, Baby Mama, Ten Minutes to Midnight) as Sofia Wilmot, Ényì Okoronkwo (Funny Woman, I Hate You, The Lazarus Project) as Rasselas, Jake Dunn (Get Even, William Tell, Rubix) as Thomas Blancheford, Bo Bragason (Creeped Out, Moving On, Three Girls) as Roxy Trotter, Florence Keen (Babs, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society) as George Trotter, with Nick Mohammed (Byker Grove, What’s Up Doc?) as Billy Blind, Joely Richardson (101 Dalmatians, The Gentlemen, One Day) as Lady Eularia Moggerhangar and Adrian Lester (Hustle, Trigger Point, Undercover) as Robert Hennessey, Earl of Poynton. Pip Torrens (Preacher, Poldark, Roadkill) as Lord Blancheford and Craig Parkinson (The Winter King, The House Across The Street, Line of Duty) as Sam Trotter also star.”
“Renegade Nell is produced by Lookout Point. Executive Producers are Sally Wainwright (Gentlemen Jack, Last Tango in Halifax, Scott & Bailey), Ben Taylor (Sex Education, Catastrophe, The Avengers), Faith Penhale (To Walk Invisible, A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Will Johnston (A Suitable Boy, Happy Valley, Les Misérables), and Louise Mutter (Happy Valley, Gentleman Jack, Game-On) for Lookout Point, and Johanna Devereaux (Harrow, Extraordinary, Wedding Season) for Disney+. Amanda Brotchie (Mr Black, Girlboss,Gentleman Jack) and MJ Delaney (Powder Room, Ted Lasso) also direct episodes. Jon Jennings (The Phantom of the Opera, Sex Education, In The Loop) is Series Producer and Stella Merz (A Suitable Boy, Gentleman Jack) is Producer.”
According to Comicbook.com, the work of Wainwright on the hit show Happy Valley, was taken very well by its audience. Disney+ hopes that this happens when the audience will watch Renegade Nell when it premieres. During recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, Lester shared some important information about the villain in Renegade Nell who will try to put difficulties in her journey.
“It is really good fun. It’s very different for Sally Wainwright,” Lester stated, via The Graham Norton Show. “She’s put political intrigue, sprites, magic, lots of fighting, highway robbery, and Regency England in a big pot, gave it a stir and out came an amazing idea. It is really good writing and I have a really good time being bad.”
The new series that have added to Disney+ vary across many genres. However, viewers have never seen anything as particular as Renegade Nell before. Harland, the star of the show, has shared her opinion on the show in an interview with Mashable during the Television Critics Association winter press tour.
“[Nell] is a character that Sally has had in her mind for I think 15 years,” Harland explained, via Mashable, as she shared that Renegade Nell would be loved by anyone. “Every member of the family will connect to this,” Harland continued, mentioning that “it is really, really refreshing to see such strong, funny, flawed women portrayed onscreen.”
Renegade Nell is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 29 with its first three episodes.
