Chrisley Knows… Behind Bars?
Chase, Savannah, Chloe, Grayson and “Nanny” Faye Chrisley will all star in a new reality TV show while Todd and Julie Chrisley remain in their respective prisons, Deadline reported on Monday.
Scout Productions – the company that produced “Queer Eye” – confirmed that they are already developing the docuseries that will “see the kids” (along with Todd’s mother) pick up their lives” after their parents were locked up.
“Collaborating with the Chrisley family, who are nothing short of reality royalty, for their much anticipated return to TV is beyond thrilling,” Chief Creative Officer Rob Eric said in a statement.
“They’re ready to bring their signature heart and quirk back to the fans and we look forward to telling their story.”
Savannah – who previously teased a return to reality television – gushed that she and her family are “so happy to be back.”
“The time was right to share our story and we couldn’t have found better partners in Scout Productions. Their ability to balance popular culture and empathy through authentic storytelling is unrivaled and I know they’re going to find the right home for this next chapter of our lives,” she told the outlet.
Neither the Chrisleys nor Scout Productions immediately returned Pvnew’s requests for comment.
Just a month after her parents reported to their respective prisons in January, Savannah, 26, shared that she had been “talking to a few production companies” about another show.
“We’re going to touch on where we’re at today, Mom and Dad being gone, how we’re coping with it, how we get through it,” she said at the time.
“Also too, having two kids and all of us stepping in to make sure that they have what they need emotionally, psychologically, physically, all the things, I feel like there’s a level of humor to it as well.”
Faye also seemed eager by the idea, since she told her granddaughter that she’s “ready.”
“We’ll say ‘Well look at these Bounce Back Chrisleys,'” she said.
The family members are no strangers to being filmed as they showcased their lives on “Chrisley Knows Best” for 10 years.
However, the USA show was canceled in November 2022 after Todd and Julie were both sentenced to prison for fraud and tax evasion.
Todd has since been serving out his 12-year sentence at Federal Prison Camp Pensacola in Florida, while Julie is spending the next seven years two-and-a-half hours away at the Federal Medical Center in Lexington, Ky.
