TLC has picked up its Breaking Amish spinoff series, tentatively titled Return To Amish with the original cast set to return. A premiere date will be set for this coming June.

The gang got together again for the "Breaking Amish: Brave New World" reunion special, "The Shunning Truth." There, Rebecca and Abe revealed some pretty big news for their family.
“We are actually expecting," Rebecca said.
The couple also revealed a behind-the-scenes detail that wasn't seen on camera. Rebecca explained that her first child -- who may or may not be Abe's -- was with them the whole time they were filming in Florida. The Examiner notes that this was one of the reasons Abe's mom even took the trip to Florida. She was on hand to help take care of Rebecca's daughter.
Starcasm was excited about the baby news, but don't expect to see this new child on the cameras anytime soon. The site also quoted Rebecca as saying she has no interest in sharing her life with cameras anymore. She feels that it's all too stressful.

It was time for the "Breaking Amish: Brave New World" season finale, and it brought with it a bombshell announcement from Abe and Rebecca. They'd decided to move back to Amish country in Pennsylvania.
They weren't rejoining the Amish lifestyle, but they wanted to settle down in Pennsylvania. Abe's mom, Mary, was stunned. She'd just left the Amish and thought the whole family would stay in Florida.
"I have a lot of concerns about going home, because I know I’m definitely going to be shunned," Mary said. "It sounds like you’re throwing me to the lions.”
She said that it was Rebecca making the decisions. Abe responded, "I am married now, I have a family. It’s time for you to let me go, mom.”
But Mary stayed by her son, despite her reservations. All three moved back to Pennsylvania where Abe and Rebecca bought a house.

Being a part of the first breakout season of "Breaking Amish" came back to haunt Rebecca on the latest episode of the spin-off series "Breaking Amish: Brave New World." She was asking about getting a job at a restaurant when she was emphatically told, "No."
“You coming in here wanting to work -- I think a lot of our employees would be disgusted about it because we love the Amish," she was told by a waitress. "We have a lot of Amish people that come in here.”
Abe, who was with Rebecca, asked the waitress if she'd grown up Amish. When she said that she hadn't, Abe countered, with ,"Then don’t tell me how the Amish live their life.”
The waitress said that she felt as if Rebecca and some of the others on the show had disrespected the Amish community with things they've said on "Breaking Amish." Fellow...

Once again, Abe's mom took center stage on the latest episode of "Breaking Amish: Brave New World." With the younger people of the cast having already spent some time outside of their communities, she's truly the one "Breaking Amish" right now. And in this week's episode that meant an unexpected exchange between Mary and her son, Abe.
Thanks to their Amish upbringing, Mary and Abe had never hugged. But Abe wanted to change that.
“Can I give you a hug?” he asked his mother.
She embraced her son and discovered something remarkable. "Abe hugged me for the first time. It makes a person feel really good to hug their kids.”
Abe later described the huge as "weird and awesome at the same time," but did say it was something he would do again. It should be interesting to see if Mary decides to go back to her community --...

Abe's mother and sister decided to travel down to Florida to surprise him and his friends on "Breaking Amish: Brave New World." Luckily -- ahem -- the camera crew was there to share their own first experiences in the larger world outside of their Amish community. Like their first experience with people of a different race.
Abe's mother, Mary, had lots of questions for the two African-American women they sat by in a restaurant. "Are you call yourself black, colored, or--"
"African American," the women answered.
"Are you actually from African?" Mary responded. She was politely corrected that the continent was "Africa" and that the women weren't from there. It was all very adorable, and the African-American women seemed just as charmed by the whole experience as the two Amish women.
Mary was loving everything about her time away from home, noting that she could have...

TLC's "Breaking Amish: Brave New World" had the former Amish and Mennonite women from "Breaking Amish" relocate to Florida for some fun in the sun, but drama most definitely followed them down south.
In last week's episode, Kim, Jeremiah's girlfriend who wasn't too pleased when she found out he'd be moving in with his former fling Sabrina, returned with a vengeance. Things got heated with Sabrina yelling at Kim, “I’m not the one with the disease!” Kim’s reply? “I’m not either! I got treated!”
And now, HuffPost TV has an exclusive clip (above) of what happens when Kim and Sabrina really start to go at it in this week's episode.
"What are you going to do? Stand there and ball your eyes out some more?" Kim yells at Sabrina. "I don't wanna see you. I don't wanna see your face. I don't wanna see no part...
