Renegade Nell was one of the shining stars of Disney Plus’ 2024 slate – the streamer clearly thought it would be a big hit. But despite gaining a respectable 88% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 87% from the critics and earning a place on our best Disney Plus shows list, the swashbuckling comedy drama, written by Sally Wainwright of Happy Valley and Gentlemen Jack fame and featuring a fantastic performance by Derry Girls‘ Louisa Harland, won’t be renewed for a second season.
The reason for the cancelation comes down to the fact that it hasn’t hit “several metrics”. That’s according to Deadline, which quotes a Disney spokesman who says that while “we’re incredibly proud of the world created by Sally Wainwright and lead director Ben Taylor”, the show won’t be coming back to the best streaming service.
