It is being reported by Deadline that Renegade Nell has been cancelled by Disney+ after just one season. The news comes four months after the historical fantasy adventure drama released its 8-episode freshman run.

"Disney+ Original series, Renegade Nell, will not be returning for a second season on the service," said a Disney spokesperson in a statement. "We're incredibly proud of the world created by Sally Wainwright and lead director Ben Taylor. We'd like to thank them, our production partners at Lookout Point, the entire cast – led by Louisa Harland – and crew for their incredible work on this series, all of whom we hope to work with again in the future."

The series follows Nell Jackson, a quick-witted and courageous young woman who is framed for murder, leaving her the most notorious outlaw in 18th-century England. When a magical spirit called Billy Blind appears, Nell realizes she is destined for something bigger than she ever imagined.
