Swashbuckling Adventure On Disney+

Anticipation has been building for Renegade Nell for a while now. Sally Wainwright’s work on Happy Valley was beloved by that passionate fanbase. Disney is hoping for the same thing when viewers meet Nell for the first time. During a recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, Adrian Lester, a star on the show, talked about the antagonist for Nell and her allies. 

“It is really good fun. It’s very different for Sally Wainwright,” Lester said. “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.”

Renegade Nell Brings Something Different

Disney+’s family offerings come all over the spectrum. There are school and sports dramas. Alongside those in that wild well of content are adventure movies and follow-ups to old favorites. But, Renegade Nell presents something that a lot of audiences probably haven’t seen before. The series star said as much when talking about the show with Mashable recently.

“[Nell] is a character that Sally has had in her mind for I think 15 years,” Harland said during this winter’s Television Critics Association press tour. The actress also explained how Renegade Nell would appeal to a range of viewers. “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.”
