Will There Be a Season 2 of "Outrageous"?
BritBox has not yet announced a renewal for "Outrageous" Season 2. The first season concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving many storylines unresolved and fans speculating about the show's future. According to both cast interviews and reporting, there is strong interest from the cast and creative team to continue the series. Joanna Vanderham (Diana) remarked that she believes "they have enough material for four seasons," with plenty of real historical drama still untapped, especially as the show just reached the verge of World War II in its narrative.
BritBox executives have also stated that future seasons will largely depend on audience demand and reception. Jon Farrar, BritBox’s Head of Programming, told Decider that viewer statistics and overall market feedback are key factors in the renewal decision. While the show’s setup as a period drama with enormous historical source material—the lives of the Mitford sisters—makes additional seasons a natural fit, as of July 19, 2025, there is no official greenlight for Season 2.
Cast and Creators
Despite the lack of an official announcement, both cast and creators have expressed enthusiasm about continuing the saga:
-
James Purefoy (who plays the Mitford sisters’ father) told the press, “They’d be mad not to [bring it back]. 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 (Pamela Mitford) pointed out that “the character’s life is so interesting beyond the 1930s,” highlighting untapped stories for future seasons.
-
Sarah Williams, series creator, shared in interviews that she’s considered the narrative possibilities for a second season, especially covering the sisters’ divergent political and personal journeys as Europe heads into turmoil in the late 1930s and 1940s.
Why the Demand for Season 2 Is Strong
Abundant Source Material: The first season only scratched the surface, focusing exclusively on the years before WWII. The real Mitford sisters’ lives continued to be filled with historical intrigue, controversy, and drama well into the war years and beyond.
Critical and Viewer Interest: Media coverage and online conversations show a keen interest in the untold chapters of the Mitfords’ story, fueling calls for renewal.
What Season 2 Could Explore
If renewed, the following real-life events are likely candidates for the next chapter:
-
Diana Mitford’s involvement with British fascism and marriage to Oswald Mosley.
-
Jessica (“Decca”) Mitford joined the communist cause and her adventures in the Spanish Civil War.
-
The escalating ideological rifts and personal scandals that divided—and sometimes united—the sisters.
Outrageous Season 1 Ending Explained
