All key scenes in 'Amish Affair' were filmed in Greater Vancouver, which includes Vancouver and its neighboring locations across British Columbia's Lower Mainland, according to TheCinemaholic.

Principal photography for the movie reportedly began on April 22, 2024, and wrapped up over a few weeks, concluding on May 10 of that year.

Vancouver is renowned as a popular tourist destination and a highly desirable place to live, thanks to its breathtaking vistas, moderate climate, and friendly residents.

Vancouver stands out as one of Canada's most linguistically and ethnically diverse communities, with 52% of its citizens speaking a language other than English as their first language, according to the City of Vancouver.

Vancouver has hosted several prestigious international conferences and events, including the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2010 Winter Paralympics.

'Amish Affair' will be available for streaming on Lifetime LMN beginning Saturday, July 6. If you do not have cable, the best alternative is a live TV streaming service.

There are several other options available, ranging from the pricey but high-quality 'YouTube TV' to some less-known ones that should be avoided.

Philo is a highly recommended service for recording events that is both dependable and reasonably priced. It includes the Lifetime Network, which is renowned for its reality television programming, as well as LMN.

If money isn't an issue, try YouTube TV or DirecTV's Ultimate Package, which includes a wide range of channels, including Lifetime, but many may not interest you.

Alternatively, you may skip live TV and instead subscribe to 'Lifetime Movie Club', an on-demand streaming service that specializes in Lifetime films.
