The Chrisley family is officially returning to the small screen with a new docuseries from Lifetime.
“The family faces the challenge of carrying on the Chrisley name and legacy on their own with only phone calls and brief visits with their incarcerated parents,” an official synopsis of the series reads, via Variety. “While Savannah maintains custody of her younger siblings, Chloe and Grayson, she has been fighting tirelessly for a Presidential pardon to free her parents. Meanwhile, Chase is addressing some life struggles while building his new business and navigating his relationship with girlfriend Jodi.”
The docuseries is expected to premiere later this year and will be produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, a part of Banijay Americas. The company’s previous work includes BELOW DECK, THE FAMILY STALLONE and VANDERPUMP VILLA.
The still-untitled series comes two years after the family’s hit series CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST aired its finale. Parents Todd and Julie Chrisley are currently in prison after being found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion in November 2022.
PEOPLE previously reported in 2023 that the family was in the process of launching a new series. However, Savannah later told the outlet that she “backed out.”
“We were working with a production company, and things were going great,” she explained “And then, there were some things that were done that I did not like. I backed out. I stepped away, and I said, ‘I’m done. I am not working. I’m not getting myself in a situation I don’t feel comfortable and safe in.”
Savannah has been open about her struggles to obtain a Presidential pardon for her parents, as well as suddenly becoming the full-time guardian to her younger siblings.

“I wasn’t expecting to get two kids. None of us expected the trial to go the way that it did,” she said during an appearance on MY VIEW WITH LARA TRUMP. “I can’t imagine how hard it was for my parents to turn their kids over to someone else.”
In another interview with PEOPLE, Savannah admitted she has “struggled,” adding, “I’ve had to work multiple jobs. I sell houses. I do podcasting. I do social media influencing. I do anything that comes my way.”
“I’m no better than anyone else out here, to have to struggle,” she continued. “And I am not lazy. I know that I have two kids to provide for, and I know I have two parents that I need to get home. So, I’ll work…till the wee hours of the morning if I have to. It’s just who I am.”
Fans of CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST are excited to see the family on their screens again and get updated on their lives.
