For years, Growing Up Chrisley offered fans a lighter, youth-driven counterpoint to the bombastic family dynamics of Chrisley Knows Best. Centered on siblings Savannah and

Chase Chrisley as they attempted to carve out independent lives away from their famous parents, the spin-off promised ambition, romance, and the messy realities of adulthood—minus some of

the theatrical chaos that defined the flagship series. But as of early 2026, one question continues to dominate fan discussions: was Growing Up Chrisley quietly canceled,

or is there still hope for a future season? The answer, as it turns out, is far more complicated—and far more emotional—than a simple yes or no.

A Promising Spin-Off With a Fresh Identity

When Growing Up Chrisley premiered in 2019, it arrived with a clear mission: shift the spotlight from Todd Chrisley’s over-the-top patriarchal persona to the lives of his adult children. Savannah and Chase became the emotional anchors of the series, navigating careers, relationships, and independence in Los Angeles while still tethered to their larger-than-life family brand.

The show quickly found its footing. Fans appreciated the more grounded tone and the emphasis on sibling dynamics rather than parental micromanagement. Chase’s entrepreneurial ambitions and on-again, off-again romance with Emmy Medders became recurring storylines, while Savannah’s business ventures and personal growth positioned her as a central figure in the Chrisley universe.

By 2022, Growing Up Chrisley had aired multiple seasons and even transitioned networks—from USA Network to E!—a move that signaled continued confidence in the franchise. At the time, the shift was framed as a strategic expansion, with episodes becoming available via Peacock and reaching a broader digital audience.

Then, everything changed.

When Real Life Upended Reality TV

In late 2022, the Chrisley family’s television empire was rocked by devastating real-world events. Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced in federal court to a combined 19 years in prison following convictions for tax evasion and bank fraud. The fallout was immediate and severe.

In the wake of the sentencing, NBCUniversal—parent company of USA Network and E!—reportedly pulled the plug on Chrisley Knows Best and its spin-offs. While some previously filmed episodes continued to air, the future of the franchise was effectively frozen. Behind the scenes, there was no formal renewal for additional seasons, and the narrative arcs audiences had followed for years were abruptly left without resolution.

For Growing Up Chrisley, this meant that its fourth season—completed and aired in 2022—quietly became its last.

Was Season 4 the Final Chapter?

Despite ongoing speculation online, industry sources confirm that Growing Up Chrisley was not renewed beyond Season 4. There has been no official announcement from E!, USA Network, or NBCUniversal signaling a continuation of the series in its original format. In technical terms, Season 4 concluded the show’s run.

This ending was not driven by ratings struggles or waning audience interest. In fact, reports from mid-2022 suggested the series remained popular enough to justify further seasons. Instead, the decisive factor was the legal and reputational crisis surrounding the Chrisley family. With the show’s foundation so closely tied to Todd and Julie’s public image, networks were unwilling to proceed amid ongoing legal controversy.

In short: Growing Up Chrisley was canceled—not because fans stopped watching, but because real life made continuation untenable.

Unfinished Stories and Fan Curiosity

Part of what has kept the conversation alive is how much remains unresolved. Season 4 left viewers wondering about Chase’s future with Emmy Medders, whose appearances became increasingly uncertain following their breakup after Season 2. Though the couple later appeared to reconcile—sparking renewed interest—those developments never received full narrative closure on screen.

Savannah’s storyline also evolved in unexpected ways. As she became more private about her dating life, the show appeared poised to pivot toward her business endeavors and personal independence. That shift never fully materialized, leaving fans to imagine what Seasons 5 and beyond might have explored.

A Franchise Transformed, Not Forgotten

While Growing Up Chrisley as fans knew it has ended, the Chrisley story itself did not stop there. In a dramatic twist, Todd and Julie Chrisley were pardoned in 2025—a development that reshaped public perception of the family and reopened doors once thought permanently closed.

Rather than reviving the old reality format, the family chose a new direction. Lifetime announced a documentary-style series focused on the Chrisleys’ lives after prison, emphasizing accountability, fractured relationships, and the long road to rebuilding trust. This project is not a continuation of Growing Up Chrisley, but it does represent the next chapter of the family’s televised presence.

Industry insiders describe the new series as more introspective and emotionally raw—far removed from the glossy, comedic tone that once defined the brand.

What This Means for Fans

For longtime viewers, the reality is bittersweet. Growing Up Chrisley delivered humor, sibling banter, and aspirational escapism—an era of lighthearted television that now feels firmly rooted in the past. Season 4 stands as its final chapter, a closing note to a franchise era that ended abruptly and without ceremony.

Yet in its place is something different: a story shaped by consequence, growth, and resilience. While the laughter and carefree energy may be gone, the Chrisley family’s evolution continues in a form that reflects the gravity of what they’ve endured.

So, is Growing Up Chrisley Season 4 canceled? In effect, yes—it marked the end of the original run. There is no Season 5 on the horizon. But for fans willing to follow the family into unfamiliar territory, the Chrisley narrative lives on, transformed by reality in ways no scripted storyline could ever replicate.
