Renegade Nell (Season 1)

Renegade Nell (2024) is a British fantasy-adventure series from Disney+ you can watch online on iFILM. England, 1705: Nell Jackson gets framed for murder and hits the road with her two sisters, turning to highway robbery just to stay alive. Then a tiny magical sprite called Billy Blind shows up — and suddenly her problems have a much bigger shape.

Louisa Harland leads the cast with real spark. Frank Dillane and Adrian Lester round out a strong ensemble, with three directors — M.J. Delaney, Amanda Brotchie and Ben Taylor — sharing the series across its run. The framing story is fun on its own, but the deeper hook is a conspiracy aimed at the Queen of England herself, and Nell is apparently the only one who can stop it.

The series was created by Sally Wainwright, the writer behind Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack — which explains why Nell feels like a full person rather than just a scrappy hero archetype. It's sharp, funny and moves fast. Stream all episodes of Renegade Nell (2024) online on iFILM.
