It was over a year ago that Todd and Julie Chrisley were pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump after serving prison time due to bank fraud, tax evasion and other alleged offenses. Since then, the couple has been easing back into their day-to-day lives and, interestingly enough, neither of them have jumped back into the reality TV space on a full-time basis. In 2025, it was reported that the pair were set to re-enter the medium and that discussions were being had. Now, Todd is weighing in on why he still hasn’t returned.
Considering the success of the Chrisley family’s 10-season USA Network show – Chrisley Knows Best – it pretty much seemed like a given that they would set up another series. In 2025, Lifetime did order an eight-part docuseries called The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, centering on how the kids were coping amid the parents’ imprisonment. Ironically, Julie and Todd were released before the show finished filming and appeared in the last stretch of the series.
