Breaking Amish: Brave New World is a reality television series that debuted on TLC in 2013. The show follows the lives of five young Amish and Mennonite men and women as they leave their strictly religious, rural communities and embark on a journey to New York City, where they must adjust to an entirely new way of life and culture.

The cast of the show includes Kate Stoltz, Sabrina Burkholder, Jeremiah Raber, Rebecca Byler, and Abe Schmucker. Each member of the cast has their own unique story and set of circumstances that led them to want to leave their community and explore the outside world.

The show begins with the group arriving in New York City and attempting to navigate their new surroundings. They are overwhelmed by everything they see and experience, from the bright lights and tall buildings to the diverse range of people and cultures. They struggle to adjust to the fast-paced city life and the temptations that come with it.

Kate Stoltz is one of the main cast members and her story is particularly interesting. She grew up in a strict religious community in Pennsylvania and was raised by her grandparents after her parents divorced. Despite her religious upbringing, Kate harbored a secret desire to model and eventually left her community to pursue a career in fashion. She lands an internship at a fashion company and must balance her newfound career aspirations with her Amish beliefs.

Sabrina Burkholder is another key cast member who has a troubled past. She was married at a young age to an abusive man and eventually divorced him. She left the Amish community to escape the abuse and is determined to make a new life for herself in New York City. She struggles with the guilt of leaving her family behind but is determined to forge ahead and create a better life for herself.

Jeremiah Raber is a former Amish man who left his community years ago but is still struggling to find his place in the world. He has a fiery personality and often clashes with the other cast members. Despite his tough exterior, Jeremiah has a soft spot for Kate and they eventually develop a romantic relationship.

As the show progresses, the cast members face a variety of challenges and obstacles. They must navigate the city's dating scene, find jobs, and adjust to living in a shared apartment. They also have to confront their own feelings of guilt and shame for leaving their communities behind, and decide whether or not they want to return home.

Despite the many challenges they face, the cast members also have a lot of fun exploring their new surroundings and trying new things. They go on dates, attend concerts, and even take a trip to a beach house in the Hamptons. The show is a fascinating look at what happens when people leave everything they know behind and are forced to start over in a completely new environment.

Breaking Amish: Brave New World is a captivating show that offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing young people who leave religious communities. The show is both entertaining and thought-provoking, and it's easy to become invested in the compelling stories of the cast members. Whether you're a fan of reality TV or simply curious about life outside the mainstream, Breaking Amish: Brave New World is a show worth watching.
