The trailer gives us a fresh look at Louisa Harland's Nell in action, on the run for a murder she didn't commit and warning that she's not to be messed with.

Meanwhile, it also introduces us to Nick Mohammed's magical spirit called Billy Blind, who teams up with Nell and appears to give her magical abilities.

Alongside Harland and Mohammed, the fantasy series stars Joely Richardson, Adrian Lester, Craig Parkinson, Florence Keen, Frank Dillane and more.

Lester previously teased what fans can expect from the series when speaking on The Graham Norton Show, saying: "It is really good fun. It's very different for Sally Wainwright.

"She's put political intrigue, sprites, magic, lots of fighting, highway robbery, and Regency England in a big pot, gave it a stir and out came an amazing idea. It is really good writing and I have a really good time being bad."

The official synopsis for the series says: "Nell Jackson, a quick-witted and courageous young woman, finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious outlaw in 18th-century England. But when a magical spirit called Billy Blind appears, Nell realises her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined."

Renegade Nell isn't the only upcoming series to have been written by Wainwright – there is also BBC drama Hot Flush, which follows "five women of a certain age" who form a punk rock band to enter a talent contest.

Renegade Nell is coming to Disney Plus on Friday 29th March.
