Disney+ released the trailer for Renegade Nell starring Louisa Harland as an 18th Century outlaw with the powers of Buffy

Disney+ finally released the official trailer for the upcoming Original series Renegade Nell. The historical fantasy series is from the brilliant Sally Wainwright, her first new series since the end of her critically acclaimed series Gentleman Jack and Happy Valley.

Renegade Nell is about Nell Jackson, a quick-witted and courageous young woman, finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious outlaw in 18^th-century England. But when a magical spirit called Billy Blind appears, Nell realizes her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined. Of course a heroine's destiny is always bigger than she ever imagined. That's the whole nature of YA Fantasy! Yup, Nelly is what you get if you ever wondered, "What if Buffy was… a highwaywoman?" Well, wonder no more! Sally Wainwright has answered your prayers! If you ever wondered "What if Sally Wainwright wrote Buffy in the 18th Century only with faeries and magick instead of vampire?", this is your answer! Who says you can't have nice things from Sally Wainwright? Punching! Horses! Cross-dressing! Disguises! Hurrah!
