Overview

• The Chrisleys: Back to Reality launched on Lifetime as a two‑night event Sept. 1–2, with new episodes airing Mondays and Tuesdays through Sept. 16.
• The premiere surfaces an ongoing rift between Savannah and Chase Chrisley, with Savannah alleging he failed to help during their parents’ incarceration as Chase challenges her account.
• The series addresses Chase Chrisley’s January 2025 simple battery arrest, his comments about heavy drinking and hitting “rock bottom,” and parents’ reactions from prison; he was released on a $10,000 bond.
• Savannah details her behind‑the‑scenes push for presidential pardons, saying she limited family involvement to avoid jeopardizing the effort before Todd and Julie were released in May.
• Producers incorporate prison phone calls and a video Todd recorded hours before reporting to prison, plus family conversations about caregiving and finances, to document the strain and attempted reset.
