BREAKING: ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ Fans, You’re Not Ready for This Series News
Nashville, TN – Just when fans thought the Chrisley Knows Best story was coming to a close, USA Network has confirmed a stunning twist: the show is not only returning but is also being rebooted with a brand-new format — and a major streaming platform is reportedly involved.
The Chrisleys, who captured America’s attention with their lavish lifestyle, quick wit, and tightly-knit family dynamic, are stepping back into the spotlight in a way no one saw coming. After a whirlwind of legal troubles, federal prison time, and a high-profile presidential pardon, the family is now preparing to reintroduce themselves to the world — with a few shocking surprises in store.
“It’s Not a Comeback. It’s a Reckoning.”
That’s the tagline being used internally by executives close to the rebooted series, which is set to premiere on Peacock later this fall. Unlike previous seasons, this reboot will blend reality TV with documentary-style storytelling, offering a more serious and introspective tone.
While the original Chrisley Knows Best was known for its lighthearted humor and family antics, the new iteration — rumored to be titled Chrisley: Rebuilt — will dive deeper into the aftermath of the family’s incarceration, the emotional strain on their children, and the ongoing public scrutiny.
“The Chrisleys are no longer just a reality TV family,” said an unnamed producer involved in the reboot. “They’re a case study in fame, failure, and resilience.”
Julie Chrisley’s Health and Public Absence
One major storyline centers around Julie Chrisley, who has remained largely out of the public eye since her release from prison. According to close family sources, Julie has been privately battling symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) linked to her experience behind bars.
While speculation swirled online about her silence, Chase Chrisley addressed the matter in a recent podcast appearance, stating: “My mom is healing — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She’s not ready to be on camera full-time, and we’re protecting that space for her.”
Despite her limited participation, Julie is expected to appear in key scenes, including an emotional one-on-one with Savannah that was filmed earlier this month.
New Faces, New Dynamics
In a move no one predicted, the reboot will also introduce a new character: a previously undisclosed family cousin named Jordan, described as a “no-nonsense entrepreneur” from Atlanta who has reportedly been helping Todd rebuild his business ventures after prison.
Fans can also expect a deeper look into Savannah’s guardianship role, raising her younger siblings while managing a burgeoning media career — and potentially a new love interest, hinted at in behind-the-scenes leaks.
Network Power Play: USA vs. Peacock
Interestingly, while Peacock is handling the rebooted version of the show, USA Network has retained the rights to air a six-part special this summer called Chrisley Knows Best: The Missing Years. This mini-series will reportedly feature never-before-seen footage, family phone calls during incarceration, and private diary entries read aloud by cast members.
There is already buzz that these episodes may include footage of Todd’s prison journal, which he reportedly kept as a daily log throughout his sentence. Though unconfirmed, producers are said to be working closely with legal teams to determine what can be shared publicly.
Public Reaction & Future Plans
The news has already stirred strong reactions on social media. While some longtime fans are thrilled by the reboot, others remain skeptical about the family’s motivations.
“I just hope it’s not about glamorizing what they went through,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “If it’s about honesty and healing, I’ll watch. If it’s just spin, I’m out.”
Still, the Chrisleys seem prepared to face the backlash — and keep going.
Insiders say a spinoff focusing solely on Chase and Savannah is already in early development, and there’s even talk of a feature-length docuseries with Netflix should the Peacock series prove successful.
Final Word
Chrisley Knows Best is no longer just a show about Southern charm and family banter — it’s about redemption, reinvention, and reclaiming the narrative. Love them or hate them, the Chrisleys are writing their next chapter. And this time, they’re telling it their way.
The reboot premieres this fall on Peacock. Stay tuned.
