The Lifetime network delves into an intriguing community — the rural and traditional Amish movement — for its latest mystery flick. Premiering tonight, November 2, at 8pm Eastern Time, A Kidnapping in Amish Country centers on Lena (Jorja Cadence), an Amish woman with a checker past whose life is upended when her daughter is horrifyingly abducted.
Desperate to reunite with her child, Lena is forced to turn to the only person who can help: her estranged best friend, Skye (Elise Bauman), who has renounced the Amish way of life and since found fame on social media. Together, they race against time to save Lena's daughter from her kidnappers.
Alongside lead actresses Jorja Cadence (Rabbit Hole, Priscilla) and Elise Bauman (One More Time, Jane), the cast of A Kidnapping in Amish Country includes Benjamin Sutherland, Devon MacDonald, Allegra Fulton, Jamie Champagne, Michael Ellero, Sam Wexler, Ryelyn Cressman, David Thompson and Roger Shank. Cat Hostick—who also directed Lifetime's recent release Taken in Plain Sight—directed the new thriller, with a screenplay from Taylor Warren Groff.
To watch the premiere of A Kidnapping in Amish Country on Saturday, November 2, you're going to need access to the Lifetime network. Those with cable packages can watch on their local Lifetime channel, but even if you don't have traditional cable, cord-cutters can also tune in online with a live TV streaming service that carries Lifetime, such as Frndly TV, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and Philo TV. And if you miss the television broadcast tonight, A Kidnapping in Amish Country will also be available to stream on MyLifetime.com beginning tomorrow, Sunday, November 3.
A Kidnapping in Amish Country is the latest new title on Lifetime's fall movie slate. Recent releases that hit the network this past month include Nobody Dumps My Daughter, starring Ana Ortiz, Jasmine Vega and Sheila E.; Husband, Father, Killer: The Alyssa Pladl Story, with actors Jackie Cruz, Matreya Scarrwener and Matthew MacCaull; and Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story, headlined by Heather Locklear and Emilie Ullerup.
