Determined to preserve peace and order in the Amish settlement of Lancaster, PA, insider Lebanon Levi and his team of men quietly exert their influence and control. In the new season of AMISH MAFIA, premiering February 25 at 9PM ET/PT, Levi struggles to keep outside forces from infiltrating the Amish community. Both old and new rivals are lurking nearby, determined to take away Levi's power and bring him down once and for all. Levi must stand his ground and expand his territory to other parts of the country, or risk forever losing his authority.
The first season of
Amish Mafia reigns as the highest-rated series premiere (2.13 P25-54 AA%) in
Discovery Channel history. And this season, the stakes are higher than ever. For the first time, Esther speaks out about the shocking attack and responds to allegations that she is leading a double life. Lebanon Levi confronts the new forces that challenge his authority over the Pennsylvania Amish. When temptations from the English world threaten to bring physical harm to one of the Amish, Levi and his crew must put aside their differences with former rivals in order to protect the community. Meanwhile, Levi's nemesis
Merlin seeks
Revenge on Wayne for ousting him from Amish Aid in Ohio. By recruiting new enforcers and building fresh alliances,
Merlin hopes to regain control of Ohio and fulfill his destiny of leading the entire Amish community.
This is a side of Amish society that exists under the radar, and the Amish church denies the group's existence.
Amish Mafia provides eyewitness accounts of the incidents, misdeeds and wrongdoings within the Amish community, as well as a rare look at Levi and his team members who work together to maintain harmony. To protect participants and their family members, some identifying information and property has been changed. Some scenes have been reenacted.
AMISH MAFIA is produced for Discovery by Hot Snakes Media, where Eric Evangelista and Shannon Evangelista are executive producers. For Discovery Channel, Matthew Kelly is executive producer with Max Micallef as coordinating producer.
