The Chrisley clan is stepping back into the spotlight with a brand-new reality series — but this time, the cameras will be rolling on a very different kind of family dynamic.
As Todd and Julie Chrisley continue to serve their prison sentences for tax evasion and bank fraud, their children are forging ahead, determined to reclaim
their story and reconnect with the fans who once embraced Chrisley Knows Best.
Though the upcoming series remains untitled and unaffiliated with any network as of yet, excitement is already building. The new show will chronicle the lives of Chase (27), Savannah (26), Grayson (17), 10-year-old Chloe, and the family’s beloved matriarch, “Nanny” Faye Chrisley, as they navigate life without Todd and Julie at home. The dramatic next chapter, as described by Savannah, promises to be a raw and revealing continuation of the family’s journey — one shaped by adversity, resilience, and unwavering familial bonds.
“The time was right to share our story,” Savannah said in a statement to Deadline on August 14. “And we couldn’t have found better partners than Scout Productions. Their ability to balance pop culture and empathy through authentic storytelling is unmatched. I know they’re going to find the right home for this next chapter of our lives.”
Indeed, life has taken a dramatic turn since the conclusion of Chrisley Knows Best, which aired its final episode in March 2023 — just two months after Todd and Julie reported to federal prison. The hit USA Network series had spanned a successful 10-season run beginning in 2014, showcasing the Southern family’s lavish lifestyle, quick-witted banter, and seemingly unshakable closeness.
But behind the glamour and humor, trouble had been brewing.
In November 2022, Todd and Julie were convicted on charges of tax evasion, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and bank fraud. Todd, now 54, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie, 50, received a seven-year term. The couple reported to their respective prisons in January 2023 — Todd to Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, and Julie to Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky.
Their absence left a void not only in the home but in the hearts of millions of fans who had come to view the Chrisleys as a staple of reality television. Determined to protect and preserve their legacy, their children — particularly Savannah — stepped into the spotlight with a renewed purpose.
Savannah, who now has custody of younger brother Grayson and niece Chloe (whom Todd and Julie adopted in 2016), has embraced a parental role amid immense personal and public pressure. With strength and transparency, she has used her platform — including her podcast Unlocked — to speak out on everything from the family’s emotional toll to the controversial conditions of her parents’ incarceration.
“Mom has rattlesnakes just casually slithering on the floor in front of her,” Savannah revealed in a recent episode, painting a chilling picture of her mother’s reality behind bars. Chase, ever the realist, clarified that the snakes weren’t rattlers but were still venomous. They also allege that both facilities suffer from serious issues such as lack of air conditioning and exposure to hazardous substances like black mold, lead paint, and asbestos.
Still, through these shocking revelations, a theme of resilience shines through.
“Our parents, they are very, very strong individuals,” said Chase. “They were not built to break and this damn sure isn’t going to break them.”
Scout Productions, the Emmy-winning powerhouse behind Queer Eye, is producing the new reality series and promises to deliver an honest yet entertaining depiction of the Chrisleys’ transformation. Rob Eric, Chief Creative Officer at Scout, expressed immense enthusiasm about working with the family.
“Collaborating with the Chrisley family, who are nothing short of reality royalty, for their much-anticipated return to TV is beyond thrilling,” Eric told Deadline. “They’re ready to bring their signature heart and quirk back to the fans, and we look forward to telling their story.”
The show will dive into the emotional and practical challenges faced by the Chrisley children as they transition from a life of comfort and security to one marked by legal scrutiny and familial restructuring. With Savannah taking on a matriarchal role and Nanny Faye providing her signature blend of humor and wisdom, the family is determined to showcase strength in the face of public scrutiny.
The spotlight will also shift to Grayson, now 17, who is grappling with adolescence in the wake of his parents’ incarceration, and young Chloe, who continues to grow up amid extraordinary circumstances. Their presence is a reminder that while the Chrisleys may be media figures, they are, at the core, a family enduring a deeply human struggle.
Fans can expect the same humor, heart, and candid drama that defined Chrisley Knows Best, but now with a much deeper emotional weight. The upcoming series aims not only to entertain but to offer a portrait of redemption, growth, and enduring love — even as the family’s world is irrevocably changed.
As Savannah put it best: “We’re so happy to be back.”
Indeed, their return isn’t just a comeback — it’s a bold declaration that the Chrisley story is far from over. Through adversity, legal battles, and national headlines, the Chrisleys are writing their own next chapter — one of courage, connection, and perhaps, eventual redemption. And now, the world will be watching once again.
