She eventually transforms into someone everyone in England fears. Billy Blind, who is a sprite with magical powers, supports her in this journey.
Wainwright has also executive produced Renegade Nell alongside Johanna Devereaux, Faith Penhale, Louise Mutter, and Will Johnston. All the episodes premiered on March 29th, 2024 on Disney+.
How Did Renegade Nell Season 1 End?
Renegade Nell Season 1 ends with the eighth episode which was called Not Some Cheap Trick. Emme Hoy wrote it while MJ Delaney was the director. Billy and everyone are surprised to see Charles instead of the queen inside the carriage of the decoy.
The queen is arrested by Poynton and Sofia realizes the pendant has some powers which she does not want to use.
Poynton gets its access and Sofia ends up dying. In the end, Billy manages to subdue the powers of the pendant from Thomas’s body. Poynton is killed by Sofia and Nell agrees for her to flee with Thomas. Neill and her friends are pardoned by the queen and a light is seen following them as they return.
Is Renegade Nell Season 2 Happening?
Disney+ has not renewed the show for Renegade Nell Season 2. However, director Ben Taylor has said that he and his team are brainstorming on the second season. They are currently in the scripting stage so we can be hopeful.
The streamers generally take time to assess and evaluate everything before saying yes to a follow-up season. But given the hint Taylor has dropped, chances are high that we will get to see the second season.
