Escaping Polygamy is an American docudrama television series that premiered on December 30, 2014, on LMN. The show now airs on Lifetime (TV & online), but can also be viewed on Tubi and Court TV, and follows the work of three sisters who left The Order, a polygamous group based in Salt Lake City,[1] as they help family and/or friends break free of polygamy.[2] [3] They have also helped people escape from the FLDS Church and the AUB Church. The show was originally on A&E, but later moved to Lifetime. The series was renewed for a fourth season on March 4, 2019, and premiered on Lifetime on April 1, 2019.[4]
Researchers and critics have noted the problematic nature of the series citing fictional escape scenarios and coercive producers who pushed a "sensationalized" narrative through thematic effects. Escaping "actors" were reportedly paid as much as $5,000 to appear in the series.[5]
Since the fourth season aired, there has been no official announcement from Lifetime regarding the future of the show.
