You might know our next guest is the complicated yet lovable Nate Cheli from the beloved series Ted Lasso. But now, nick Muhammad is coming back to our screens as a Pixie in the new historical adventure series Renegade Nell. Set in 18th century England, the series takes viewers on a wild ride after a young woman named Nell Jackson finds herself framed for murder and becomes an outlaw. But she soon realizes that the supernatural power she has could also be what saves people and possibly even herself. Take a look.

Three things. One, I'm on your side. Two, that it's not loaded. Three, it wouldn't have any effect on me, even if it was, for I am non-corporeal.

What do you mean? You're on my side. Are you sold? Nick Muhammad joins us now. Nick, thanks so much.Thank you so much having me.It's so great to have you here. You have played so many lovable characters, right? This particular character, this series, this historical, authentic factor, but it also has this fantastical bit to it that we just saw a little bit. Tell us about the world of Renegade now.

Yeah, look, it's written and created by Sally Wainwright, who's an absolute genius. Traditionally, she has written grittier shows like Happy Valley. But thematically, this is similar, even though it's quite a swashbuckling family series, strong female lead at the heart of it about social injustice, class warfare, and so on. But yeah, there is this supernatural element where my character Billy Blind comes in, and it's together Well, I call him he, but he's a Sprite, really. Not to really gender him. But together, Nell and Billy have this incredible ability, this supernatural power that they use as a force for good. But yeah, it makes it a departure from Sally's previous stuff. But it's also grounded in a semi-truth because in the 18th century, a lot of people did believe in some of the the folklore that the show alludes to. In fact, I think Billy Blonde is based on an old story of an imp that used to live under the pillow to protect you if you were to protect children and so on. It's based on a truth, even though it's very fantastical.

It is very different from, say, the role you played in Ted Lasso. Yeah. Or we could name any other number of things. What drew you to this specific role?

Because it's pretty particular. Yeah, I think it's what we were saying before in that I particularly enjoy doing lots of different things and challenging myself in different ways. Ted Lasso, obviously, had a particular… That character in particular had its own journey. I remember this coming towards the end of Ted Lasso, and I was reading it thinking, This is so different from anything that I've read before. There was that supernatural element. I knew that I was going to get to go on wires, which was a real draw because it's been a childhood dream.

How did you bring comedy to the role? How do you mix comedy in with...

It was quite tricky in a way because Louisa and I had to film all our stuff separately because I was still finishing off on season 3 of Ted Lasser when they were doing principal photography. All my stuff was green screen separate. I was lucky I had all of Louisa's coverage to go on. But Louise literally had an eyeliner on a stick, I think, to go on. We were not concerned, but we just knew that we had to try and get the dynamic right. They are a bit of a double act to a degree because they bicker a little bit at the start when it's Nels frustrated as to why he's here, but they bond over the course of the series.

I just want to go back to what you just said. For those of us who aren't actors, that's going to be really difficult when you're not actually acting with the person. How do you wrap your head around that, especially in something like that?

Well, it's a technical challenge more than anything. Again, it's something that I'd never really done before on previous jobs. But you have so much support from the technical team, the visual effects and stunts people, especially when you're on wires and you got particular eye lines and particular shots. It was technically challenging, but still a real privilege and a joy.

Just quickly, without giving too much of it away, how much does your character and how does your character influence now?

Well, Well, they go on this journey together. I think they realized quite early on that his purpose is more there not to just solve Nell's problems, but they might have a higher purpose in terms of there's a whole plot to go the throw, the Queen of basically, which they have to thwart together. So, yeah, they have a much bigger goal.

Well, it's always wonderful to meet someone who you admire on screen and is just wonderful in person. That's so cool. Thank you so much, Nick.Thank you very much.Thank you for having me. Renegate Nell is now available to stream on Disney+. Hi, everyone.
