Outrageous Season 1 concludes with a playful hint that the story of the Mitford sisters is merely beginning. As the Mitford clan — siblings Nancy (Bessie Carter), Pamela (Isobel Jesper Jones), Tom (Toby Regbo), Diana (Joanna Vanderham), Unity (Shannon Watson), Jessica (Zoe Brough), Deborah (Orla Hill) — along with their parents, Muv (Anna Chancellor) and Favre (James Purefoy), gather at their Oxford estate for one final celebration before it’s sold, Nancy suggests that the drama is far from over.

So what could possibly be crazier than anything else we see go down in Outrageous Season 1 on BritBox?

**Spoilers for Outrageous Season 1, now streaming on BritBox**

Throughout Outrageous Season 1, we witness Diana dismantle her noble marriage to the Guinness heir to become the mistress of Britain’s prominent fascist. She and Unity eventually form a bond with Adolf Hitler, with Unity infamously writing a dreadful op-ed supporting the Holocaust. Meanwhile, novelist Nancy progresses from her first (gay) love to wed a true scoundrel. Jessica commits to the Communist movement, planning to flee to join the Spanish Civil War front lines. Older sister Pamela indifferently becomes engaged to Debo’s first love. Moreover, the sisters’ cousin, Winston Churchill, comments on their political tendencies.

So, what was Nancy implying with her hint of more events to come? Are the divides between Nancy and Diana as well as between Unity and Jessica irreparable? Will there be additional Outrageous on BritBox? Here’s what you need to understand about the ending of Outrageous Season 1….

Outrageous Ending Explained: What Happens to the Mitford Sisters Next?

The Outrageous Season 1 finale sees the Mitford family on the verge of scattering for good. First, we see a heartbreaking reunion between former besties and roomies Unity and Jessica. When Outrageous began, the two sisters would play out goofy shootouts, playacting in the roles of revolutionaries. Now, they’ve picked drastically different sides in the world war yet to come. Unity shows off a real gun that Hitler has gifted her, while Decca quietly plans to runaway to the Spanish front.

“I think that was really, really difficult for me and probably for you as well, Shan,” Zoe Brough said when she and her costars visited DECIDER HQ last month. “That relationship being completely tarnished by politics. I think that moment when you show the gun…for me, I found that scene really, really, really hard.”

“One thing that’s fascinating about the family, is that at the start, we see them before they go on these dark paths, very different, unconventional roots of life,” Shannon Watson said. “Then at the end, once they’re in the midst of it, they still have that sisterly love, Even though they might not like each other anymore.”

“Like can you still love your sister even if they do these terrible things?” Brough said.

Two other Mitford sisters dealing with the same push-and-pull are the equally once close Nancy and Diana. When Nance realizes that Diana has actually married Oswald Mosley (Joshua Sasse), she’s absolutely horrified.

“When she goes to the rally with Peter, her husband, and she sees the violence and sees Mosley in action, that’s the beginning where she cannot understand what her sister is seeing in this man,” Bessie Carter told DECIDER. “And then when her best friend is brutally injured at the hands of, albeit the police, but it was still at this rally, I think that is the point of no return [for Nancy].”

With the sisters scattered, what comes next? Nancy will eventually betray Diana during World War II, turning her into British authorities for her Nazi beliefs.

“My character, Diana ends up in prison. I really want to do that,” Vanderham said. “I was like, ‘Please, can we get to that season where she’s just completely taken down off the pedestal?’ That’s got to happen!”

Pamela and Deborah aren’t as famous for their politics, but they both do continue to have interesting lives. Modern scholars now suspect that Pamela was secretly queer, while Debo goes on to be one of the most important women in the British aristocracy.

“Debo becomes a woman and then she has so many tragic things happening to her and her life,” Watson said.

Unity will continue to delight in being one of Hitler’s favorites and takes it very badly when Britain declares war on her favorite country, Germany. Meanwhile, Jessica will make good on her dreams of joining first love Esmond Romilly (Joseph Potter) in Spain.

“Decca goes to Spain!” Carter said. “You know, there’s so much. So hopefully none of that is spoilers because it’s all like in the internet. So if it is, I’m sorry.”

There’s apparently so much material to mine that showrunner Sarah Williams has four seasons worth of material. But will we get to see it?

Will There Be an Outrageous Season 2 on BritBox?

BritBox has yet to reveal whether or not they’re making Outrageous Season 2, but Head of Programming Jon Farrar indicated to DECIDER last month that he wants to make the decision sooner rather than later.

“We want to look at how the audience responds,” he told DECIDER. “Viewing data is gonna be a massive part of that, but it’s not everything. We want to take a holistic view of how the show is received in the market.”

“Certainly we would love to get that second series done if it is well-received.”
