Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack creator Sally Wainwright is back with a new show on Disney Plus – and it certainly marks a different direction for the writer.
Renegade Nell, which blends fairies, magical monsters and Georgian England, follows Nell Jackson (who is played by Derry Girls' Louisa Harland), a young 18th-century woman who finds herself in a spot of bother when she's framed for a murder she didn't commit.
Forced on the run and into a life of crime, Nell accidentally becomes the most feared highwaywoman in the land, and also finds herself involved in preventing a deadly plot against the queen.
It's a swashbuckling adventure that takes audiences through miles of English countryside, as well as plenty of grand stately homes.
