Pip Torrens as “Lord Blancheford” and Craig Parkinson as “Sam Trotter” also star.
Renegade Nell is produced by Lookout Point. Wainwright and Taylor executive produce with Faith Penhale, Will Johnston and Louise Mutter for Lookout Point, and Johanna Devereaux for Disney+. Amanda Brotchie (Gentleman Jack) and MJ Delaney (Ted Lasso) also direct episodes. Jon Jennings is Series Producer and Stella Merz is Producer.
