I've loved every single Downton Abbey sequel movie that comes our way (including the third one this fall!!), but nothing quite matches the quiet melodrama that the show's first couple of seasons gave us. I'm a sucker for family drama, which is exactly why I can't wait to tune into Outrageous this summer. Catch up on all the episodes before the season finale!
Here's everything you need to know about Outrageous, coming to BritBox June 18, 2025.

What is Outrageous about?
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).
The series was created and written by Sarah Williams, and produced by Firebird Pictures.
What were the Mitford sisters famous for?
BritBox
In addition to their very-public lives, Nancy Mitford published The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, while Jessica published The American Way of Death. Deborah also was a manager at Chatsworth House (which you'll recognize as Pemberley from the 2005 Pride & Prejudice).
