When Does "Outrageous" (2025) Take Place?
"Outrageous" is a historical fiction television series entirely written by Sarah Williams that premiered June 18th, 2025. So when is "Outrageous" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because the real-world writer Nancy Mitford (1904-1973) is a main character and she reads a newspaper article out-loud that refers to her novel "Highland Fling" (1931) as having been published "earlier this year". That novel was released in March of 1931 AD in the real world.
1931 AD - 1932 AD

More specifically, season 1 episode 1 "The Gathering Storm" includes a superimposed time setting title card right after the prologue that reads "SEP 1931" and, just a few scenes later, another reading "MAR 1932".
Additionally, there is a very short prologue that is unplaceable.
