BritBox’s newest period drama, Outrageous, has wrapped its debut season, and fans are already eager for more. The series is based on the real-life incidents surrounding the controversial Mitford siblings, and the show ends with an intense family portrait scene that leaves viewers with several unanswered questions. Set against the rocky backdrop of pre-WWII Europe, the finale hints that this wild story is far from over.
The Mitford siblings, Nancy (Bessie Carter), Pamela (Isobel Jesper Jones), Tom (Toby Regbo), Diana (Joanna Vanderham), Unity (Shannon Watson), Jessica (Zoe Brough), and Deborah (Orla Hill) gather at their family home one last time. Things get tense as Nancy finally confronts Diana about her growing support and sympathy for fascists. Meanwhile, Jessica and Unity, who sit on opposite ends of the political spectrum, part ways as the world creeps closer to war.
Will there be Outrageous season 2 on BritBox?
While BritBox hasn’t confirmed a second season, the cast is hopeful. In an interview with Decider, Bessie Carter, who plays the author Nancy Mitford, noted there’s “so much more” to explore from the Mitfords’ real lives. “When you read Mary Lovell’s book, you’re like, ‘What the hell?’ There is so much more,” she said.
Joanna Vanderham, who portrays Diana, agreed with her views. “I believe they have enough content for four seasons,” she explained, hinting that the story could follow the sisters through the Second World War and beyond. Her character’s future is especially dramatic: Diana was eventually imprisoned for her ties to British fascism. “Please, can we get to that season?” Vanderham laughed. “That’s got to happen!”
