A new reality show slated for the TLC fall lineup is ‘Breaking Amish,’ the story of five young people who leave their small town ways for the bright lights of New York City.
Jeremiah, Kate, Abe, Rebecca and Sabrina ditch their horse and buggy ways and venture to the big city in an attempt to find a new life outside of their Amish and Mennonite communities.
Leading the group is 32-year-old Jeremiah. He reveals during the premiere episode, “I was adopted and I got kind of thrown into this Amish crap. It’s not cool.”
It turns out Sabrina, 25, was adopted by a Mennonite family. She is desperate to learn more about her Italian and Puerto Rican heritage and hopes to find her biological parents.
The group weigh the consequences of leaving their faith and being forever shunned by their families. If the bikini rocking trailer is any indication … it looks like they’ve definitely made their decision.
Catch all of the action beginning with the premiere on Sunday, Sept. 9 (10 p.m. ET) on TLC. Check out the trailer below:
