Escaping the Prophet

TLC has pulled the plug on its reality series Escaping the Prophet, which documents ex-FLDS member Flora Jessop’s efforts “to take down one of the most reportedly dangerous polygamist cults in America.” Viewers tuning in last night were surprised to find no new episode. Show star Flora Jessop was also apparently blindsided by the cancellation, which she later angrily confirmed with a since-deleted Facebook message and series of tweets.

TLC announces it will be premiering a brand new reality series in the spirit of Breaking Amish, but focusing on eight young men and women who have just left the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or “FLDS” as it is more commonly known. The show, titled Breaking the Faith, premieres November 24 and will be followed by another FLDS-based series titled Escaping the Prophet following the life of former FDLS member (and author) Flora Jessop.
