Why The Chrisleys Are Getting an Early Release ?
The Reason The Chrisleys Are Leaving Early
Todd and Julie were sent to prison due to a Federal offense and they were sentenced to serve 19 years in prison combined. Now, there are reports that the jail time was shortened. We have to remember that they need to serve 80% of their prison sentence. But still, a huge chunk of time was taken out and the reason for that is truly unexpected. What do you think? Leave your comments below!
Savannah Chrisley did ask her grandmother Nanny Faye what she thought about diving back into reality TV again. Nanny reassured her granddaughter she was ready to rock and roll.
Todd Chrisley’s daughter added that TONS of networks and production companies have been in contact with her because there is a huge interest in making something work.
How do fans feel about the potential of a new series?
Unsurprisingly, this topic did make it over to the Reddit communities where fans shared their thoughts on a new Chrisley series. Is this something fans want to happen? Many fans admit that while they believe Todd and Julie should be behind bars if they really committed the crimes, they love watching the Chrisley family on television. A lot of fans describe it as a “guilty pleasure.”
Julie Chrisley and Todd Chrisley’s respective prison sentences have been shortened.
Eight months after the pair began their respective federal prison sentences for tax fraud, their release dates have been moved up.
As of Sept. 7, Todd—who reported to the Federal Correctional Institution (FPI) Pensacola in Florida back in January—had his prison release moved up to January 22, 2033, two years earlier than his originally scheduled 2035 release, according to federal prison records.
Meanwhile Julie is scheduled to be released from FMC Lexington in Kentucky on October 19, 2028—a year and three months earlier than her initial release date, per records.
“Without a doubt, Todd and Julie are model incarcerated individuals who received exorbitant sentences,” Jay Surgent, the pair’s attorney, told Insider. “I believe Todd is down to 10 years and Julie is now at five years.”
Following Todd and Julie’s federal indictment in August 2019, the reality stars both pleaded not guilty to 12 counts, including wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. However, in June 2022 they were found guilty on all counts by an Atlanta federal jury, with Todd being sentenced to 12 years and Julie to 7 years in prison that November.
Savannah and Nanny Faye Tease Fans with Exciting Details About Her Upcoming Show
For those who were disappointed that Chrisley Knows Best and Growing Up Chrisley got canceled, there is new hope as Savannah reveals the family is in serious talks for a new reality series. It was during the most recent episode of her podcast (which featured both Chloe and Nanny Faye as special guests), that Savannah opened up about the possibility of the Chrisley family returning to reality TV.
With the previous series being called Chrisley Knows Best, Todd was the king of the show and the family. And, the series was about the family with the underlying message that he knew best. With Todd behind bars, there is a whole Reddit community now that is called Chrisley Knows Prison. And, many fans admit they would LOVE to watch a series that features Todd and Julie Chrisley behind bars. Unfortunately, that is unlikely to happen.
Savannah, Chloe, and Todd’s mother, however, think a series with Nanny Faye stepping up to be the new queen of the castle makes sense. The family even tossed around the idea of Nanny Knows Best as a potential name for the series.
