The Mitford sisters, a family of aristocratic rebels who defied societal norms and made headlines worldwide, seem like an intriguing subject matter.

As a history enthusiast with a penchant for the scandalous tales of the past, I find myself captivated by the synopsis of “Outrageous,” a series that tells the story of six aristocratic sisters who dared to break the mold and live life on their own terms. Having spent years researching and studying the lives of the elite, I am no stranger to the high society intrigue and scandal that surrounded these families. Yet, this series promises something different – a fresh take on the often-told tales of the aristocracy, focusing not just on their lavish lifestyles but also on the defiance and rebellion that characterized these women’s lives. I can’t wait to see how these six sisters navigate the treacherous waters of high society while staying true to themselves and pushing boundaries. The world will undoubtedly be watching as they make headlines around the globe!

Amidst the ominous backdrop of the 1930s, shrouded by the opulence, frivolity, and extravagance of British aristocracy, Outrageous will portray the unfiltered tale of the Mitford sisters for the first time on screen. This tale encompasses a complex web of family ties, deceptions, public scandals, political radicalism, love, sorrow, and even incarceration.

As I embark on this role, I find myself facing a fresh wave of challenges as I delve deeper into her character, who lived amidst the tumultuous events of the 1930s in Britain. This period has always intrigued me, and it’s fascinating to see how closely the political climate she navigated mirrors some aspects of our current times. Having grown up during a time when history often felt distant, I now find myself standing on the precipice of reliving it through her experiences. It’s both daunting and exhilarating to imagine what it must have been like to live through such turbulent years, and to portray a character who faced similar challenges as we do today.
