For years, Chrisley Knows Best delivered polished humor, quick one-liners, and a picture-perfect glimpse into the glamorous yet chaotic Chrisley family. But now, in the wake of prison sentences,

public scrutiny, and emotional upheaval, the Chrisleys are returning to television in a new—and far more unfiltered—series. And according to Chase Chrisley, filming this raw reboot wasn’t just emotional…

it forced him to question everything he thought he knew about reality TV. In a stunning new revelation, Chase admits the candid nature of the show left him so exposed, he briefly wondered whether

he should have ever agreed to return to the screen at all. Despite his trademark sarcasm, the 28-year-old reality star says the family’s latest project goes deeper, hits harder, and reveals truths they never dared to show before.

“This Time, It Was Different” — Chase Opens Up

Chase Chrisley is no stranger to cameras. From his teen years to adulthood, he grew up with a crew following every move, documenting everything from pranks and sibling rivalries to business ventures and bittersweet life changes. But stepping back into filming after the most turbulent chapter of the Chrisleys’ lives felt completely different.

The imprisonment of Todd and Julie Chrisley shattered the family’s world, leaving Chase, Savannah, Grayson, and little Chloe to navigate emotional trauma while battling relentless headlines. According to Chase, this painful reality is exactly what the new series captures.

“The cameras didn’t come in for jokes this time,” Chase shared.
“They came in for truth.”

And with truth came vulnerability.

Raw Footage That Made Chase Cringe

What surprised Chase the most wasn’t the filming—it was watching the footage later. Unlike their previous series, where editors carefully crafted comedic timing and heartfelt moments, this project leaves almost nothing out.

Chase says he felt “exposed” watching early cuts of himself dealing with overwhelming stress, family disputes, and the pressure of stepping up as a protective older brother. He even joked that the emotional weight of seeing himself on-screen made him blurt out:

“Dang… maybe I should’ve said no to this show!”

But behind the humor lies honesty. Chase admits the discomfort was real—but necessary.

“It’s not about looking perfect anymore,” he explained.
“It’s about showing what actually happened.”

And for the first time in Chrisley family history, nothing is polished, filtered, or softened.

A Family Reshaped by Loss, Responsibility, and Reality

While Chase faced personal struggles and internal conflict, he also stepped into a new role within the family. With Savannah taking on guardianship of Grayson and Chloe, Chase found himself becoming a more active supporter—emotionally, financially, and physically.

The series dives deep into this period of adjustment:

• Chase learning what it means to be dependable
• Savannah balancing guardianship and the weight of holding the family together
• Grayson struggling with anger, confusion, and change
• Chloe trying to understand a world that suddenly looks different

Chase says the show captures real, unfiltered conversations that often turned into heated arguments, tearful breakdowns, and brutally honest confrontations.

“There are moments I never thought viewers would see,” Chase admits.
“Moments I never wanted them to see.”

But after everything the family has been through, hiding no longer felt authentic.

A Series That Shows the Chrisleys Like Never Before

Fans might be surprised by how much the Chrisleys have chosen to reveal. Unlike their earlier show—which thrived on comedic setups, glamorous shots, and stylized family banter—the new series strips everything to the bone.

It shows:

• The messy aftermath of Todd and Julie’s sentencing
• The emotional wounds the family still carries
• How trauma reshaped their relationships
• The pressure on Chase to grow up faster than expected
• The tension between siblings facing overwhelming responsibilities
• The fragility that fame and pain can expose

Chase admits there were scenes that made him wince—not because they were edited poorly, but because they were so painfully real.

“If viewers feel uncomfortable, it’s because we did too,” he said.

And he believes that’s what makes the series powerful.

The End of the “Perfect Family” Image

For years, the Chrisleys were marketed as a Southern, over-the-top but lovable family with a clean aesthetic and polished charm. Chase acknowledges that their original brand was built on humor, wit, and the illusion of control.

But the new series tears all of that down.

“We’re not trying to be perfect anymore,” Chase revealed.
“We’re trying to be real.”

And that rawness brings a level of authenticity that longtime fans have never witnessed before.

Instead of curated moments, viewers will see:

• The family’s pain
• Their healing
• Their chaos
• Their closeness
• And their survival

It’s a complicated, emotional portrait of a family fighting to stay together despite the odds.

Chase Admits Filming Changed Him

Despite joking that he regretted signing up, Chase ultimately admits the experience forced him to grow. He learned how to face uncomfortable truths, accept responsibility, and step into adult life with a level of maturity he didn’t expect.

He says the series captures him:

• Making mistakes
• Apologizing
• Learning
• And stepping into a stronger, more grounded version of himself

“It’s not always flattering,” he says.
“But it’s real. And that’s what matters.”

A Time Stamp of Resilience

Chase calls the new series a “time stamp” — a moment in their family’s history that reflects heartbreak, change, and resilience. It marks the beginning of a new chapter, one shaped not by glamour, but by grit.

The Chrisleys hope the show serves not just as entertainment, but as a reminder that no family—no matter how famous—is immune to struggle. And that even in the darkest moments, humor, loyalty, and love can keep people together.

Chase may cringe at parts, but he stands by the importance of what the family has created.

“This is the real us,” he says.
“And the world needed to see it.”
