'Renegade Nell' Season 2 Update: Here's the renewal status of Disney+'s historical adventure series
LONDON, ENGLAND: Louisa Harland-led historical adventure series 'Renegade Nell' has captured the hearts of audiences, leaving them eagerly anticipating season 2. However, Disney+ has not released any official statement yet.
The series made its highly-anticipated debut on Disney+ on Friday, March 29, with all eight episodes available for fans to binge-watch over the weekend.
'Renegade Nell' is set in 18th century England and follows the story of Nell Jackson, portrayed by Louisa Harland. Nell is wrongly accused of murder and transforms into the notorious highwaywoman, becoming one of the most feared figures of her time.
Is 'Renegade Nell' Season 2 in the works?
At this junction, the streaming platform Disney+ hasn't given out any word regarding Season 2 of 'Renegade Nell' in the making.
However, director Ben Taylor disclosed to Radio Times that the scripting process for season 2 is currently underway.
He said, "We're now in the process of writing a possible second series, so you're able to take stock and figure out what would be the 2.0 version and focus on the stuff that was really working and do more of that."
He added, "I think there's gonna be a time jump, because we shot this over a year ago. So I think it's buying that and buying the thought that it's been that many years since we caught up with these characters, partly just for the age - Roxy and George are going to be visibly two years older.
"It’s about where we leave the characters, and what powers they have or don't have by the end of series 1 is sort of informing the jumping off point for series 2. I wish I could tell you, but there is some crazy, crazy stuff in store," he said further.
Well, this means we can keep our hopes high for 'Renegade Nell' Season 2, provided that Disney+ green lights it.
