โ€œWe obviously, we had been filming, and we had just wrapped filming for all intents and purposes and then we get the call that they had been pardoned, so we picked right back up,โ€ Savannah explained of the family’s upcoming Lifetime series. โ€œAnd we’re excited because I think this new show is going to give, first off, it’s gonna give people a look into the trial and things that we went through and we’re gonna set the record straight, put some documents out there.โ€

The former beauty queen added that the new series will see the Chrisley family come โ€œfull circleโ€ and be able to โ€œmove forward with our livesโ€ after โ€œMom and Dad are pardoned.โ€ Savannah also revealed her parents “already got all the offers rolling in” and that her father will be “on quite a few different shows” moving forward, which is “gonna make life so much easier.”

Lifetime announced it was filming a new show with the Chrisley family last month. โ€œThe Chrisleys donโ€™t know best anymore, but theyโ€™re doing their best to be there for each other,โ€ the network description read. โ€œThe 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.โ€

While Savannah worked to balance being the custodial guardian of minor siblings Chloe and Grayson and โ€œfighting tirelessly for a Presidential pardon to free her parents,” her 28-year-old brother Chase was โ€œaddressing some life struggles while building his new business and navigating his relationship with girlfriend Jodi.โ€

As Todd and Julie served out their sentence, โ€œthe family faces a critical point in their lives that will either make the family bond stronger or leave it shattered forever.โ€
