Savannah Chrisley is 'talking to a few production companies' about a new reality show following the cancellation of 'Chrisley Knows Best'
  • The Chrisleys are planning a new reality show following the cancellation of "Chrisley Knows Best."
  • "Tons of production companies have reached out," Savannah Chrisley said on her podcast, "Unlocked."

The Chrisley family is in talks to star in a new reality show following USA Network's decision to cancel "Chrisley Knows Best" in light of Todd and Julie Chrisley's imprisonment, daughter Savannah Chrisley said.

In the latest episode of her podcast, "Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley," released Tuesday, the 25-year-old was joined by her grandmother, Elizabeth "Faye" Chrisley — who is affectionately known by the family and fans as Nanny Faye — and spoke about the family's plans to return to reality TV.

"Well, you do know, we're talking to a few production companies about doing another show," Savannah shared at the beginning of the episode.

Savannah asked what her grandmother thought about taking part in another show, to which Faye, 79, responded: "I'm ready to go work. I'm ready to walk down that highway any day."

Savannah also got her niece Chloe's opinion on starring in another show. "You kind of what to be the next 'it' thing, don't you? You kind of like the attention?"

"Of course I do," the 10-year-old, whom Savannah is raising while Todd and Julie serve out their prison sentences, replied. Chloe added that she'd rather be on the show than in school.

Later on in the episode, Savannah returned to the topic and said that "tons of production companies have reached out and networks that want to do a show."

Faye even suggested a potential title for their comeback series: "Bounce Back Chrisleys."

"I love that actually, that's absolutely amazing because it's so true," Savannah said. "At the end of the day, we're not going to allow this to stop us from moving forward."

Faye said that a new show would allow the family to "let the world see that we're really who we were."

"100%," Savannah said agreeing, noting that by its final season "Chrisley Knows Best" had become "more of a comedy than it was reality."

"There was a lot of things that we didn't have a say in," she revealed. "But we had fun doing it because we all got to work together, so we got to be around each other."

Savannah added that she hopes the new show does sit firmly within the world of reality television so that they can be candid about their experiences without Todd and Julie and "touch on where we're at today, mom and dad being gone, how we're coping with it, how we get through it."

However, she said there will inevitably be a "level of humor to it as well."

Savannah concluded their discussion by telling fans that the show "will be heartwarming. It'll break your heart, you'll laugh."

"You'll cry with us and laugh with us," Faye chimed in.

"Chrisley Knows Best," which followed the day-to-day lives of the large tight-knit family, began airing on the USA Network in 2014 and was abruptly canceled after Todd and Julie were convicted in June 2022 of bank fraud and tax evasion.

However, episodes in the show's 10th season, which were shot prior to the trial, began airing on the channel earlier this month, with little to no fanfare or promotion from the family and the network.

The show spawned a spinoff that followed Savannah and her brother Chase, 26, titled "Growing Up Chrisley," which was also axed in light of the family's legal troubles.
