Based on the true story of the Mitford sisters who played by their own rules – with sometimes devastating consequences. Set against the gathering storm clouds of the 1930s, Outrageous is inspired by the lives of the aristocratic Mitford sisters - six headstrong women who frequently made headlines around the world. Yet their lives would ultimately take very different paths – from Nancy who became a celebrated author and journalist, to Jessica who rejected her inherited privilege and dedicated her life to revolutionary causes. A family saga like no other, this is the Mitfords as they really were: unapologetic, outrageous and utterly human.

Jeanine T. Abraham VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium) BritBox’s Outrageous does not disappoint as a relevant period drama with kick.....There is a low ebb of rage that is an undercurrent in every episode of Outrageous that feels unnerving in an oddly cathartic way. Rated: 4/5 Jun 8, 2025 Full Review Meghan O'Keefe Decider Outrageous conjures up an impressive feat by balancing multiple acts. It’s a historic drama that speaks to the here and now, a serious exploration of politics that’s also full of fluff, and a classic British drama that feels young and cool.
