UPtv has ordered a second season of SUGARCREEK AMISH MYSTERIES, the network announced Thursday from Atlanta.
“What makes SUGARCREEK AMISH MYSTERIES so special is its ability to combine intrigue and suspense with the uplifting storytelling our viewers are seeking,” said Crissie Miller, Vice President of Content Strategy and Planning at UP Entertainment, in a press release.
The cozy mystery series follows Cheryl Cooper, played by Galadriel Stineman, a woman who rebuilt her life inside the Amish community of Sugarcreek, Ohio. Season 1 paired whodunit plots with a genuine, unhurried look at Amish culture and the friendships Cheryl formed along the way.
Season 2 picks up with Cheryl settled into Sugarcreek, though settled won’t mean simple. Bigger locations and new mysteries will put her sharp instincts to the test, and they’ll force her to reckon with her place inside a community she’s come to love. She’ll also have to decide whether to trust that same instinct with her heart, opening herself to the possibility of love.

“Audiences have connected deeply with Cheryl, the Miller family and the sense of belonging at the heart of Sugarcreek,” Miller continued. “We can’t wait to bring fans more mysteries and more of the characters they’ve come to love.”
Returning cast members include Stineman as Cheryl, Denise Gossett as Naomi Miller, Kevin Joy as Levi Miller and Riley Beeson as Esther Miller. Sandra L. Martin directs and executive produces the series alongside Chevonne O’Shaughnessy.
The numbers back up the network’s confidence. According to Nielsen, Season 1 drew 1.8 million viewers across its original run, averaging a household audience of 228,000 and a women 18+ audience of 180,000 — enough to land the show among the top 20 ad-supported cable programs in both categories during its time slot.
Movieguide® has followed SUGARCREEK AMISH MYSTERIES since its first episodes, and our reviewers found a series unafraid to let its Christian worldview show. Prayer, scripture and a steady trust in God’s timing run through the Miller family’s world without ever feeling like a lecture. That’s the same balance UPtv seems to be betting on again: faith treated as part of ordinary life rather than a plot device, wrapped around mysteries hearty enough to keep an audience guessing.
Season 2 is expected to premiere on UPtv in 2027. No episode count has been announced yet, but if Season 1 is any indication, Cheryl still has plenty of secrets left to uncover in Sugarcreek.
