Disney+ axes blockbuster TV series after just one season despite rave reviews

As a long-time fan of fantasy shows and having spent countless hours binge-watching various series over the years, I must say that Renegade Nell has truly captured my heart. Having grown up in the era where shows like Willow and The NeverEnding Story were the staple of our Saturday mornings, I can genuinely appreciate the nostalgic feel that this show brings.


1. Disney+ canceled a highly popular television series following its first season, even though it received numerous positive reviews. (This version maintains the original’s structure and uses simpler language to make it more accessible.)

1. Fervent admirers of Renegade Nell are expressing their sadness, as they anticipate feeling this way for the next six months, following the unexpected cancellation of the series by the streaming platform on Tuesday, which has sparked controversy.

As a dedicated lifestyle expert, I’m excited to share some insightful updates about our favorite streaming platform, Disney+. In a recent conversation with Deadline, a representative from Disney+ confirmed that the original series, ‘Renegade Nell,’ will not be renewed for a second season on the service. Although it’s sad to see this captivating story come to an end, I must express my admiration for the extraordinary world brought to life by the brilliant mind of Sally Wainwright and our talented lead director, Ben Taylor. Their creative vision has undoubtedly left a lasting impact on Disney+ viewers. Stay tuned for more exciting content coming soon!

We are grateful to our production companions at Lookout Point, the whole cast headed by Louisa Harland, and the team behind the scenes for their extraordinary efforts on this show. We look forward to potential collaborations with them once more.

1. The widely-adored television program is an 18th-century-themed series that follows a young lady wrongly accused of murder, forcing her to flee and assume the role of a highway robber, eventually becoming England’s most infamous outlaw.

1. The main actors of Derry Girls – Louisa Harland, Alice Kremelberg, and Frank Dillane – were headed by Ben Taylor, the director known for Netflix’s hit series Sex Education, with writing credits going to Sally Wainwright, famed creator of Happy Valley.

1. According to Daily Mail TV reviewer Christopher Stevens, the eight-episode series earned a remarkable five-star accolade. He stated that Wainwright skillfully crafted an extraordinarily English heroine, drawing on narratives of highwaymen, fairy tales, Gothic literature, and a touch of Shakespeare’s magic.

1. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film garnered an 87% score on the ‘Tomatometer’, a 88% rating from the audience, and an overall average score of 7.8 out of 10.

1. As a fervent admirer, let me express my excitement over the role I can hardly wait to see Harland embody: Nellie, the innkeeper’s daughter, who, having lost her husband in combat against the French at the Battle of Blenheim, returns home.

On the way, she is relieved of her horse, wedding ring and boots by a band of highwaymen.

However, as the group’s head (Frank Dillane) strikes her face with his gun, the show reaches a turning point, and an extraordinary event unfolds mysteriously.

In just a few weeks since its launch on March 29, Renegade Nell has managed to gain a devoted following.

When fans learned that there wouldn’t be a second season for the show, they flocked to X (previously known as Twitter), expressing their disappointment and urging other streaming services to consider taking over the series instead.

‘I’ll be mourning Renegade Nell for the next six months.’

Nell’s Renegade series in the fantasy genre is truly exceptional among new releases. Sadly, Disney+ falls short in providing a platform commensurate with its superior quality.

1. “It doesn’t shock me at all; it seems wise for Disney to steer clear of shows like Renegade Nell and Willow if they aren’t considering a second season.”

‘RIP Renegade Nell taken from us too soon.’ 

1. “Did they actually take off ‘Renegade Nell’ from the schedule? I thought the Regency fans would adore it! How much would it cost to reinstate it? I can’t bear such an unsatisfying conclusion without my favorite group.”

‘We really lost Renegade Nell…’

“#RenegadeNell was unfortunately canceled! It boasted wonderful characters and every episode brought endless enjoyment! It truly deserved another season! What a missed chance, as there was so much untapped potential! Tsk tsk @DisneyPlus, I hope another streaming platform acquires the rights and produces more episodes.”

‘Someone else pick it up! @PrimeVideo @Netflix ANYBODY! Please #renegadenell.’

‘That’s a shame, it was a good fun little fantasy series #RenegadeNell.’

I must admit, I’ve been a die-hard fan of live entertainment for as long as I can remember. From the days of going to the local theater to catch the latest blockbuster, to the advent of streaming services that promised endless hours of entertainment right at my fingertips. But let me tell you, my dear reader, the streaming era has been a rollercoaster ride, and not in a good way.
