Todd Chrisley and his family are ready to keep it real on reality TV once again with The Chrisleys: Back to Reality.
After Chrisley Knows Best came to an end in March 2023, fans have been unable to see Todd and his wife, Julie Chrisley, showcase their family life with kids Savannah, Chase and Grayson Chrisley. (The couple also share adopted daughter Chloe, and Todd has two older kids from a previous relationship.)
In May 2025, however, news broke that Lifetime was working with the Chrisley family on a new docuseries tentatively titled The Untitled Chrisleys Project.
“The Chrisleys don’t know best anymore,” Lifetime said when teasing the project. “But they’re doing their best to be there for each other.”
Which TV Shows Are Renewed in 2025-2026?
While the show was initially focused on Savannah and Chase’s lives as their parents served prison sentences for bank fraud and tax evasion — charges they still deny — things quickly changed when President Donald Trump pardoned both Todd and Julie.
Cameras quickly picked back up and anticipation is building to see what this reality show will reveal about the controversial family.

What Was Lifetime’s Original Vision for the Show?
When the Chrisleys’ show was first announced in May 2025, Lifetime promised that the family would be “exposing the raw truth of their lives — past and present.”
“This series delivers an unfiltered, deeply personal look at their journey,” Lifetime stated, per The Hollywood Reporter, “and introduces the real Chrisleys as they navigate this new chapter.”
How Will the Show Change With Todd and Julie Chrisley Pardoned?
In a May 2025 press conference with her father, Savannah gave a glimpse into how production was working hard to capture big moments in her family’s changing reality.
“We had been filming, and we had just wrapped filming for all intents and purposes, and then we [got] the call that they had been pardoned,” she shared with Us and other reporters. “So we picked right back up.”
Todd also confirmed he began filming “literally the night that [Julie and I] got home.”
Savannah believes the new series will allow fans to see the moment Todd and Julie reunited after serving part of their sentences in separate prisons. (Todd served his sentence in Florida, while Julie was in Kentucky.)
What Has the Chrisley Family Teased About the Show?
Savannah shared further details about the upcoming reality show during a press conference.
“I think this new show is going to give, first off, it’s going to give people a look into the trial and things that we went through, and we’re going to set the record straight,” she said before confirming Chrisley family attorney Alex Little will be part of the show. “It comes full circle because we go back, and then we get to the point where mom and dad are pardoned and now we move forward with our lives.”
Savannah continued, “For me personally, now I get to be a normal 27-year-old, almost 28 now.”
Is There a Trailer for the Show?
Yes, a trailer for the upcoming docuseries dropped on July 31 with an inside look at the first time Todd and Julie reunited following their presidential pardon.
“I have nothing to hide,” Todd said at one point in the video. “I look at this as me exposing the truth, and depending on how long this interview goes, you might see more than what you bargained for.”
