PERIOD SET SERIES OUTRAGEOUS WITH JAMES PUREFOY, TOBY REGBO, ANNA CHANCELLOR, JAMIE BLACKLEY, CALAM LYNCH, JOSHUA SASSE GETS AN AIR DATE

  OUTRAGEOUS TV DRAMA  
NEW MITFORD SISTERS SERIES IMAGES
Although their life has been already adapted a couple of times by BBC, famous Mitford sisters are getting a new period set series at UKTV's channel Drama and Britbox in USA and today we have new images as the series will start June 19th. The six part series OUTRAGEOUS will depict the British socialite sisters, whose antics in the 1930s made their family one of the most well known in the UK. Several infamously supported fascism and the Nazis, though two became staunch opponents of the ideology. Two became well known authors. It will be a story of family betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, personal heartache and even imprisonment. Given that the air date is relatively soon, BritBox has released the trailer as well today which you can see below the post, so you can check it out and tell us what you think, will you be watching when it is released for streaming this summer?
  THIS BRAND NEW SERIES WILL FOLLOW
the six upper-class Mitford sisters — Nancy (Bessie Carter), Diana (Joanna Vanderham), Unity (Shannon Watson), Jessica (Zoe Brough), Deborah(Orla Hill), Pamela (Isobel Jesper Jones) — who were the Kardashians of the 1930s, when they both dazzled and scandalized English society. Nancy was a writer who wrote novels including “The Pursuit of Love” while Diana and Unity were fascists who were close to Hitler. Jessica was a communist, Pamela lived out the latter half of her life with a woman and Deborah became a duchess after marriage. Toby Regbo will play their brother Tom while Anna Chancellor and James Purefoy will be their mother and father. Joshua Sasse will star in the six part series as Oswald Mosley, Jamie Blackley as Peter Rodd, James Musgrave as Hamish Erskine, Calam Lynch as Bryan Guinness and Will Attenborough as Joss.

  3. Apparently Britbox will show it, but I wonder if PBS doesn't get it too the way it did with Hotel Portofino.

  6. Idk if our PBS will get this even with the rights. They've slashed funding here for our stations last week on top of all of the other public services they seem fit to cut. Libraries, free educational television, nutrition, department of education, national parks... They keep cutting funds for all of these public goods, but raise my taxes on top of it. Something fishy is going on and it stinks to the high heavens.

    1. At least they did not delete salaries for teachers like our dictator has been doing for two months now to punish them. People have been gathering funds to feed the teachers. He will also cut funds to state universities in an attack against students who are leading protests against him.

      Speaking of PBS they just bought Sam Claflin's COUNT MONTE CRISTO so you will be able to watch it there, not that it was an overly great series, but still watchable because of him.
