Bessie Carter Stars in Outrageous Drama About Mitford Sisters

Bessie Carter, famed for her role as Prudence Featherington in Bridgerton, undergoes a dramatic transformation to play Nancy Mitford in the upcoming six-part period drama Outrageous. The series, set in the 1930s and based on the true story of the notorious Mitford sisters, explores themes of scandal, political extremism, and family bonds as the sisters navigate a rapidly changing society. Carter's new look—short brunette bob and era-appropriate 1930s fashion—marks a significant departure from her familiar Bridgerton appearance. Outrageous promises to delve into the sisters' divergent political paths, romantic entanglements, and public notoriety, with a cast including Joanna Vanderham, Shannon Watson, and Isobel Jesper Jones. The show will debut on U and U&DRAMA in the UK later this year. Early images and synopses highlight a saga of betrayal, romance, and the crumbling British aristocracy as the Mitfords seek to redefine their place in a tumultuous era.
