Savannah Chrisley’s Tireless Efforts to Secure Her Parents’ Presidential Pardons
Savannah Chrisley, the eldest daughter of Todd and Julie Chrisley, has been working diligently to free her parents from federal prison. In the premiere episode of Lifetime’s new series, “The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,” Savannah opens up about her efforts to secure her parents’ presidential pardons. The episode marks the family’s first large gathering since Todd and Julie’s incarcerations two years prior in January 2023.
A Family Affair: The Chrisleys’ Journey to Freedom
During the episode, Chase Chrisley, 29, asks Savannah, 28, about the status of their parents’ pardons. Savannah replies that she wouldn’t tell the family even if she had heard anything new, citing concerns that they might “screw it up.” She explains that she has worked too hard for the past two and a half years to let someone else jeopardize the pardons.
Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of bank fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion in 2022. After an appeals court upheld their convictions, Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison, while Julie was sentenced to seven years. However, Savannah’s tireless efforts ultimately paid off when her parents were pardoned by President Donald Trump in May 2025, after serving just over two years of their sentences.
A New Chapter: The Chrisleys’ Return to Reality TV
The new Lifetime docuseries, “The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,” chronicles the family’s journey as they deal with the aftermath of Todd and Julie’s prison sentences. The series follows Savannah as she successfully secures her parents’ release and offers a glimpse into the family’s life behind the scenes. In a recent interview with ABC News, Todd and Julie discussed their time behind bars, the moment they learned about their pardons, and their new reality show.
Savannah also sat down with ABC News to discuss the new series, stating that it is dramatically different from their previous show, “Chrisley Knows Best.” She explained that the new show “peels back the layers” and showcases the family’s dysfunction, fights, and tears. The series promises to offer a more authentic and raw look at the Chrisley family’s life, making it a must-watch for fans of the reality TV stars.
