Has ‘Outrageous’ Been Renewed for Season 2? What to Know

A strong demand for Outrageous Season 2 has emerged after BritBox added all six episodes to its catalog.

The British historical drama series, which premiered on June 18, has not yet received a second season order. On the other hand, James Purefoy, who plays David Freeman-Mitford, told the Daily Express they “would be mad” not to continue with another installment.

“There is so much history to cover. It’s the tip of the iceberg, there’s so much more they go on to do,” Isobel Jesper Jones, who portrays Pamela Mitford, hinted at a potential Outrageous Season 2.

All original cast members could return for the next series, including Purefoy, Jones, Bessie Carter (Nancy Mitford), Joanna Vanderham (Diana Mitford), Shannon Watson (Unity Mitford), Zoe Brough (Jessica Mitford), Orla Hill (Deborah Mitford), Toby Regbo (Tom Mitford) and Anna Chancellor (Sydney Bowles).

Joshua Sasse, Jamie Blackley, James Musgrave, Will Attenborough and Calam Lynch could also be back for another season.

While the official synopsis and logline for the next Outrageous Season 2 have not been confirmed, the cast members shared what they want to explore next.

Purefoy told the Daily Express at the series’ London launch, “I think it’s a great show and there’s a lot more meat on these bones.”

He pointed out the six episodes only covered until the year 1937, so the cast believes there is still a lot more to tell.

Meanwhile, Jones said she would love the next season to explore Pamela’s life beyond the 1930s, explaining, “Pamela’s story, in particular, is so interesting beyond the 1930s. I really hope that we’ll get to do that. If anything it gets more chaotic and more outrageous.”

“I’m desperate to because Deborah starts to come out to society and then had a crazy, teenage… her sweet 16 was pretty [crazy], hanging out with the Kennedys,” Hill added. “One of the most interesting things about Outrageous is you have all those really famous historical figures that we know just trickling in. Having some of that for my character’s storyline would be really fun.”

In an interview with Decider, Carter said she also thinks “there is so much more,” explaining, “I mean, when you read Mary Lovell‘s book, you’re like, ‘What the h—?'”

Carter also reflected on the first six episodes of Outrageous, calling it “a wild experience” because “you just cannot believe it’s true.”

“Everything that unfolds in our series is factual and nothing has been heightened or turned away from,” she told Town & Country. “This is everything that happened to six women who were born in the same family, brought up under the same rules, and became so very different.”

She added, “I thought, how have we not seen this story? How have we not made a series about these women who persistently did not want to conform? It’s kind of amazing that we haven’t told that story.”
