Suddenly Amish

—In this new series, six "outsiders" take a leap into Amish life, each driven by deeply personal reasons and the hope for transformation. "Suddenly Amish" offers a rare, intimate look at what happens when outsiders step into a deeply traditional community, sharing a journey that's emotional, surprising, and undeniably human. While "Rumspringa" offers Amish the chance to experience the outside world, very rarely are outsiders allowed in. To help grow a shrinking population, a progressive group of Amish hosts and community members are taking a new approach as they invite a diverse group of English outsiders into their community in this life-changing opportunity.
