Bridgerton’s Bessie Carter in first look at new period drama

As a seasoned gamer of both the small screen and the big, I must say that the unveiling of Bessie Carter in the upcoming period drama “Outrageous” has piqued my interest like a well-placed arrow in an episode of “Arrow.” The allure of real-life figures and their scandalous lives is akin to unlocking a rare, high-value collectible in a game.


A first look at Bridgerton star Bessie Carter in new period drama Outrageous has been unveiled.

In the recently introduced U and U&Drama collection, an actor takes on the role of Nancy Mitford, a genuine individual, while the show unfolds the actual account of the Mitford sisters.

Fresh images have been unveiled for the six-episode drama series, showcasing Carter in his role alongside other key characters.

The series, inspired by Mary Lovell’s book “The Mitford Girls”, chronicles the lives of six unconventional aristocratic sisters who frequently defied societal norms and made international news with their scandals.

Amidst the ominous backdrop of the approaching storm in the 1930s, hidden beneath the extravagance, indulgence, and glamour of British aristocracy, the film Outrageous will unveil the raw, unfiltered tale of the Mitford sisters for the first time on screen.

“This tale delves into the intricate web of a family’s relationships, deceit, notorious scandals, radical ideologies, deep affection, sorrowful moments, and incarceration – a unique family chronicle unlike any other. The Mitfords were not just extraordinary; they were brazen, audacious, and undeniably human.”
