'Outrageous' First Images Bring the Infamous Mitford Sisters to Life

Whether you know it or not, you've probably heard about Britain's infamous Mitford sisters before. The family, which contained everything from Nazis and communists to journalists and satirists, was essentially the reality TV stars of their day, and the antics of the six Mitford sisters have since spawned everything from documentaries to biographies and even a stage musical. The eldest sister, Nancy, was a writer and novelist herself, and her fictional work was at least semi-autobiographical. Her books The Pursuit of Love and Love In A Cold Climate have both been adapted for the screen in recent years (by Prime Video and the BBC, respectively)

Basically: They're kind of a big deal; now, their family's story is finally being brought to the screen for the first time. Outrageous, a six-part series from UKTV and BritBox, will dramatize the lives and loves of the six Mitford siblings, who were a source of international fascination for much of the 1930s and 40s thanks to various wild exploits. One sibling jilted her husband --- the wealthy heir to the Guinness family — to run away with the founder of the British Union of Fascists. Another was infamously known as Hitler's "muse". And a third was a self-declared communist who eloped to Spain to participate in the civil war there.

(What I'm saying is the Kardashians could never.)
