Luke Macfarlane is well known for his comedy and Hallmark offerings, while Kirsten Vangsness is well known for hunting down the bad guys on Criminal Minds.
The pair join forces for Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story, which finds the couple plotting a murder.
The Lifetime original movie premieres Saturday, September 30, at 8 p.m. on the cabler and focuses on an affair gone wrong.
The flick revisits the story of a man who called himself "Amish Stud" and his plan with his mistress to murder his wife, to the horror of his conservative Amish community.
Amish Stud is based on the book A Killing in Amish Country: Sex, Betrayal and a Cold-Blooded Murder by bestselling authors Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris.
"Devoted to her husband, kids, and faith, Barbara Weaver (Miranda MacDougall) was content leading a traditional life in her conservative Ohio Amish community -- with no modern conveniences," the logline teases.

The Witcher is fast becoming the next big pop culture phenomenon it would seem.
In a development that undoubtedly draws further parallels with HBO’s Game of Thrones, Netflix’s hit new fantasy series based on Andrzej Sapkowski’s books have triggered a massive rise in interest for everything and anything related to Geralt of Rivia. Just as George R. R. Martin found renewed fame for his A Song of Fire and Ice books following Game of Thrones‘ debut, so too, is Sapkowski enjoying a massive surge in exposure, thanks to Netflix’s adaptation.
The author has steadily been rising through the ranks of Amazon’s most popular writers ever since Henry Cavill brought Geralt to life on the small screen and now, astoundingly, he sits at pole position, above the likes of J. K. Rowling and Stephen King. Check out the full top 10 list (updated daily) below.

Two decades after being found guilty of having a sexual relationship with her student, Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau are ready to share even more details about their controversial relationship. In a two-hour A&E documentary airing today, May 29, Mary Kay will open up about her life post-prison — and give viewers an inside look at her life now. In 1997, Mary Kay, who at the time was a 34-year-old sixth-grade teacher, was arrested and charged with child rape after her husband Steve Letourneau discovered she was having sex with her 12-year-old student Vili. While awaiting the conclusion of her trial, she gave birh to the couple's oldest daughter, Audrey. Shortly after, she was found guilty and sentenced to six months in jail and three years of sex offender treatment. However, two weeks after her release, she was found having sex with Vili in her car and was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years behind bars.
