After several years following the end of “Chrisley Knows Best” on USA Network, the Chrisley family is making a comeback to reality TV, as part of the 2025 television schedule. Lifetime has officially greenlit the Chrisleys’ new project for series production, and filming is currently underway. However, there’s an important shift in the production process due to Todd and Julie Chrisley being granted clemency from their prison sentences. With them back among us, a public relations expert is offering advice on how this celebrity couple should manage their image as they navigate through their legal challenges.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Todd Chrisley and his daughter Savannah, after their release from prison, are overjoyed to be back and ready to move forward with their lives. However, Eric Schiffer, a seasoned public relations expert and the CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, advises caution when they re-enter the TV industry. In an interview with Fox News, Schiffer suggests that the Chrisleys might not be able to win hearts back in the usual way. Instead, he proposes a different strategy: they’ll need to approach their return in a thoughtful and strategic manner.
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve learned that redemption isn’t about making the front page; it’s a long, grueling journey. If you yearn to reclaim your glory, start small – because no star escapes the hardship. You can’t stream your way out of disgrace. Substance outshines spectacle. A successful comeback is founded on humility, not hype. Redemption doesn’t arrive with a camera crew, but in the quiet grind when nobody’s watching.
In 2022, Julie and Todd Chrisley were convicted by a court jury for charges involving tax evasion, bank fraud, and conspiring to deceive the IRS. The sentence handed down was significantly lengthy; Todd received a 12-year term, while Julie was instructed to serve seven years. They began serving their sentences in early 2023, prompting their children to publicly defend them. By February 2025, it became known that Todd applied for a pardon from the U.S. President Trump. This clemency was granted in May, with Savannah Chrisley later confirming this news.
I believe, as Eric Schiffer suggests, in embracing rather than distancing myself from my past legal challenges. His perspective is encapsulated by this idea:
“It’s not about erasing the past, but learning and growing from it.
Don’t try to outshine your scandal — outwork it.
The original description for the Chrisley TV series focused on Savannah and her siblings, Chase, Grayson, and Chloe, as they maneuver through their individual lives. Previously, the struggles of the children in dealing with Todd and Julie’s absence was a significant aspect of the show. However, since both parents have been released from prison, it’s clear that the series may take on a new form.
Currently, Lifetime has yet to make a formal announcement about how the Chrisley family’s involvement might affect their series. However, one source reported that the show is adapting quickly in response to the pardon situation. Remarkably, this source also hinted at Wendy Williams and her 2024 docuseries as an example of the evolving nature of the Chrisleys’ current production.
Todd and Julie Chrisey have been given quite a bit of guidance since leaving prison. Alice Marie Johnson, referred to as the “Presidential pardon czar”, advised them to take some time before diving back into their regular business. It’s uncertain if Eric Schiffer’s recommendations for them to show humility while creating their new reality TV series will be followed by the Chrisleys.
