BritBox's New Family Drama Will Fill The 'Bridgerton' Void In Your Life
We don't have to wait long to see one of our favorite Featherington sisters onscreen again. Bridgerton star Bessie Carter's new drama Outrageous, about the aristocratic Mitford sisters, is coming to BritBox soon! The series, which is based on Mary Lovell’s biographyThe Sisters, follows the titular sisters — six women who constantly made headlines for their behavior in 1930s England.

While Bridgerton takes place in the 1810s and not the 1930s, I have a feeling Eloise would have found a lot of entertainment in reading about the Mitfords' escapades. Here's everything you need to know about the series.
Outrageous Plot
BritBox
Set in 1930s England, Outrageous follows the Mitford sisters' decadent, lavish, and scandalous lives. These women were unwilling to conform to the standards of the day, following their hearts in everything — whether it be love, politics, or betrayal. The family is complicated, messy, and outrageous (like all good family dramas are).
Everything they did was for shock value, and in fact, The Times journalist Ben Macintyre referred to them as "Diana the Fascist, Jessica the Communist, Unity the Hitler-lover; Nancy the Novelist; Deborah the Duchess and Pamela the unobtrusive poultry connoisseur" (via Derbyshire Record Office). Yikes.
The series was created and written by Sarah Williams, and produced by Firebird Pictures.
Outrageous Release Date
BritBox
