Unexpected Twist !! What is Todd and Julie Chrisley’s new reality show? When, how to watch Chrisleys series
The shocking comeback you didn’t see coming
After a saga filled with high‑flying fame, serious legal fallout and an unexpected pardon, the reality TV powerhouse couple Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley are back —
and they’re pulling no punches. Their new series, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, is set to expose every raw, unfiltered moment of their life since everything fell apart.
The pivotal turning point: in 2022 Todd and Julie were convicted on multiple counts of bank fraud and tax evasion, drawing down their once‑lavish lifestyle into courtroom testimony
and prison time. But in May 2025 they were granted a full presidential pardon — a move that sent shockwaves through reality‑TV and the court of public opinion alike.
Now, with eyes on them like never before, the family is documenting the aftermath: the reunion, the tension, the lingering fallout, and the attempt to rebuild everything.

What the new series will cover
- Behind‑the‑scenes access to the Chrisley clan: Todd, Julie, their children (Savannah Chrisley, Chase Chrisley, Grayson Chrisley, Chloe Chrisley) and Nanny Faye.
- The fall from grace: how they got here, how the family fractured under legal and prison pressures.
- The redemption arc: the pardon, the return home, and the attempt to reclaim normalcy — or at least a new version of it.
- Fade of the old image: the family themselves say this show is different than their previous hit, Chrisley Knows Best. “You’re gonna see the dysfunction. You’re going to see the fight and the tears and everything we had to go through to get to today,” Savannah teased.
When and where to watch
- Premieres as a two‑night event: Sept. 1 & Sept. 2, 2025 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
- The series continues weekly thereafter, with the finale set for Sept. 16, 2025.
- For viewers outside the U.S or those without cable: check Lifetime’s streaming app/website (depending on your region) or international licensing — though availability may vary by territory.
- If you’re in Vietnam (like you are), check whether Lifetime is carried on your local TV or via international streaming services that hold Lifetime content. Sometimes U.S. shows launch later or via alternative platforms.

Why this matters
This isn’t just another reality reboot — it’s a full‑on narrative about scandal, imprisonment, second chances and the attempt to rebuild under a microscope. The Chrisleys have gone from flamboyant family‑empire to felons to pardoned public figures. This series is clearly their chance to tell their side of the story.
Think of it as: the glossy veneer is gone. What remains is raw emotion, family fractures, the quest for redemption — and a very real question: can they rebuild, or will the past continue to define them?
Final word
If you thought you knew the Chrisleys, buckle up. The Chrisleys: Back to Reality promises to reveal the unvarnished truth behind the headlines and the mansion photos. When the cameras roll on September 1, it’s not just a new show — it’s their comeback saga. Get ready for tears, tension, triumph and maybe a little trouble along the way.
