DISNEY + ORDERS 18TH CENTURY SWASHBUCKLING ADVENTURE TV SERIES BALLAD OF RENEGADE NELL FROM GENTLEMAN JACK CREATOR!

The series will have eight episodes

Well, they haven't had any historical series so far, methinks, but Disney + will change that with their new British order: Gentleman Jack's Sally Wainwright will produce for them THE BALLAD OF RENEGADE NELL eight part series, a stylish, witty and surprising romp set in the 18th century! When she’s framed for murder, Nell Jackson is forced into a life of highway robbery, along with her two orphaned sisters Roxanne and George. Aided by a plucky little spirit called Billy Blind, Nell realizes that fate has put her on the wrong side of the law for a reason, a reason much bigger than she could’ve ever imagined, a reason that goes right up to Queen Anne and beyond, to the struggle for power raging across the battlefields of Europe.
