The Big Picture It feels bizarre to say that a series that features magic as a core, inextricable component can feel deeply grounded in reality. But such is the case with Renegade Nell, Disney+'s new series from Gentleman Jack creator Sally Wainwrightled by Derry Girls star Louisa Harland.
Cast Louisa Harland , Joely Richardson , Pip Torrens , Nick Mohammed Main Genre Drama Seasons 1 What Is 'Renegade Nell' About? The Disney+ series follows Nell Jackson , a young woman who returns home to her village after her husband is killed at the front.
Things may not be perfect yet, but the bar is officially set when it comes to colorblind casting in media. Gone are the lily-white depictions of history, and rightly so, as Nell and her sisters travel the countryside in the company of a diverse group of friends. Renegade Nell casts in a similar vein as its most famous contemporary, Bridgerton, opting for a hybrid colorblind approach: it matters sometimes, and other times it doesn't matter in the slightest.
And that's not even to say that this show necessarily needed Nell to power up incrementally, culminating in a superhero-style magic battle with Poynton and Sofia at the end. In fact, I can say that that would absolutely have been the wrong choice, and would have majorly harmed the show. That said, the use of Billy's magic plays out so similarly that it almost becomes repetitive.
