Renegade Nell, starring Derry Girls actor Louisa Harland, has been canceled atDisneyPlus after just one season.
Created by Sally Wainwright and directed by Ben Taylor, the show takes place in a fantasy version of 18th-century England and follows a woman named Nell Jackson (Harland) who is framed for murder and becomes the most feared woman in the country. Aided by a magical sprite called Billy Blind (Nick Mohammed), Nell realizes that she’s destined for greatness of the highest caliber.
“Renegade Nell, will not be returning for a second season on the service. We’re incredibly proud of the world created by Sally Wainwright and lead director Ben Taylor,” a spokesman for Disney Plus said in a statement. “We’d like to thank them, our production partners at Lookout Point, the entire cast – led by Louisa Harland – and crew for their incredible work on this series, all of whom we hope to work with again in the future.” Kremelberg shared the statement to her Instagram story, adding: “RIP to my favorite swashbuckling crew. Best romp around.”
