‘Shiny Happy People’ covers controversial youth ministry Teen Mania for season 2: How to stream free

A brand new season of the no. 1 most-viewed docuseries on Prime Video, Shiny Happy People, debuts on the streaming platform Wednesday, July 23.

Those looking to stream the sophomore season of the hit Prime Video docuseries can enjoy a 30-day free trial before committing to a paid subscription.

What is Shiny Happy People season 2 about?

According to an Amazon MGM Studios press release, Shiny Happy People is calling the newest season Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War and focuses on “the controversial organization Teen Mania—once America’s largest youth ministry, attracting millions through their wildly popular stadium shows know as Acquire the Fire.”

Throughout the second season, viewers will witness the unveiling of the organization’s questionable underbelly which includes a “high-pressure pipeline of brutal spiritual bootcamps, surreal role-playing scenarios, and relentless psychological control—all under the command of a charismatic leader with endlessly expanding ambitions.”

More on Teen Mania

Teen Mania Ministries was founded back in 1986 by Ron Luce and his wife, Katie near Dallas, Texas. The prominent Evangelical Christian youth organization had an ambition mission to “build an army of young people who will change the world,” and attempted to solidify that dream by hosting large-scale conferences, mission trips and more.

Underneath the organization’s polished exterior was a cracking interior that was made up of questionable morals and practices, which continued until the organization ended its operations in Dec. 2015 after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

How many episodes will Shiny Happy People season 2 have?

Though a lengthy description of season two has been given to fans eager for the upcoming release, there is no confirmed number of episodes.

For those who may have caught the debut season of Shiny Happy People, which focused on the Duggar family from 19 Kids and Counting, four episodes were included in season one, and as the award-winning team responsible for season one is returning for season two, it’s possible season two could follow the same format.
