""We've stepped back into it the way that we know how to step back into it, but it's certainly different. This time, we're different," Todd Chrisley tells TODAY.com. "We've gone through a lot, and I don't think that you can go through what we've gone through and come back and be the same - and if you do, you probably should go back.""
"The couple has since been pardoned and released, returning home to their children and living in the limelight, but it hasn't been easy. Now, they - along with their daughter Savannah Chrisley, sons Chase and Grayson Chrisley, and more family members - are sharing what happened during their time in prison and how life has changed since their releases in a new Lifetime series, " The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, " which aired in two parts on Sept. 1 and 2."
"Todd and Julie Chrisley were indicted in 2019 on 12 counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to documents obtained by NBC News. Convicted on federal fraud charges in 2022, Todd Chrisley was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison, with Julie Chrisley receiving a seven-year sentence, according to the U.S. attorney's office. Their sentences were then slightly shortened by two years and 14 months, respectively."
Todd and Julie Chrisley's imprisonment dominated the family's last two years, followed by pardons and release that returned them to public life. A Lifetime two-part series, The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, chronicles family members recounting prison experiences and post-release adjustments. Savannah Chrisley assumed household responsibilities during the parents' incarceration, advocating for release and caring for younger relatives. Todd and Julie were indicted in 2019 on multiple fraud-related counts, convicted in 2022, and received multi-year federal sentences that were later slightly reduced. The family describes emotional pain, personal growth, and ongoing unpacking of trauma while reintegrating into fame.
