My Unorthodox Life is returning to Netflix for a second season.
The show, which premiered in July 2021, follows the life of Julia Haart, 51, who, after fleeing her ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, inspired millions around the world with her story of liberation.
Haart's family also feature in the show, especially her eldest three children (Shlomo, Batsheva and Miriam Haart) who now live in Manhattan, New York, with her. Her youngest son, Aron Hendler, also appears but in a smaller capacity as he still lives with his dad, Haart's first husband Yosef Hendler, in Monsey.
According to Netflix, this season fans will see the Haart family tackle an "avalanche of personal and professional challenges" and a major storyline of the season will be Julia's split from estranged husband Silvio Scaglia, 64.
The former couple married in June 2019 and ran modeling agency Elite World Group together as co-CEOs before Haart was swiftly removed from her position by Scaglia in February 2022 when their breakup turned contentious.
Fans will watch as Haart is left to battle for control of her business empire whilst also helping her children and closest friends deal with their own life issues.
