Fans of Discovery's hit series Amish Mafia are currently waiting for news about the show potentially returning for a fourth season, but according to the season 3 finale, production on the show was halted on Feb. 26.

Claims 'Amish Mafia' Is Fake Resurface?

During the season 3 finale episode, the Lancaster group swore off of the English for good after what happened to Esther at the hands of her English boyfriend. As their anger against the English increased, they asked producers to meet up with them in an abandoned barn and turn off the microphones and cameras (which didn't happen), and the cast refused to continue filming despite having 14 days of production left on the schedule for season 3. Lawyer Steve Breit then delivered a cease and desist letter to Discovery Headquarters, and production was officially halted Feb. 26.

In a special that aired after the finale, more information was revealed as to why the cast has become increasingly more fed up with the show's crew, including the gang realizing after the series premiere that the show was not going to be called Amish Aid.

Levi and Lancaster Group Turn On English Film Crew?

However, while production on the show has been halted, Esther and John Schmucker are scheduled to have a meet and greet with fans on April 19 at That Shuu Girl Boutique in Lancaster. Tickets are $30.00 and fans will receive signed photographs of the two. It is unclear if they will address the rumors that the show will not return for a fourth season.

Production on the show was halted just one day after the Season 3 premiere, though the season did end with the same number of episodes produced as the two before it (eight total). It is unclear if the third season was initially supposed to include more episodes than that.

Though Discovery has said a fourth season of the show is a part of their planned fall lineup, the show could go on without the Lancaster crew and solely focus on Merlin and Wayne, who are based in Ohio. However, like the Lancaster based crew, they did not appear on-camera for the End of Days special. The only members of the cast who willingly appeared on camera for the special were Private Investigator Sean Hall (who was tailing Levi all season and investigating him), Lancaster County constable Paul Castline, lawyer Steven Breit and Alan Beiler.
