\"\"Filming has begun on Outrageous<\/strong><\/em> (6×60′), a six-part series about the Mitford sisters, with a cast including Bessie Carter, Joanna Vanderham, Anna Chancellor and James Purefoy. The brand-new drama, created and written by Sarah Williams (Small Island, Flesh and Blood, The Long Song<\/em>), and based on Mary Lovell’s definitive biography The Mitford Girls<\/a>, is made by Firebird Pictures and co-commissioned by BritBox International (for North America) and UKTV.<\/p>\n

Outrageous<\/strong><\/em> is the story of six aristocratic sisters who refused to play by the rules, their often-scandalous lives making headlines around the world. Set against the gathering storm clouds of the 1930s, masked by the decadence, frivolity, and lavishness of British high society, Outrageous<\/em> will bring the full, uncensored story of the Mitford sisters to the screen for the first time – a story of family bonds and betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, love, heartache, and even imprisonment. The show explores how and why these women, unwilling to conform, were so ahead of their time – and what drove them to take their very different, complex, and often dangerous paths. A family saga like no other, this is the Mitfords as they really were: unapologetic, outrageous, and utterly human.<\/p>
