In a heartbreaking new teaser for The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, Savannah Chrisley provides an unfiltered and emotional glimpse at the struggle that ensued in the wake of her parents' imprisonment and how that's been impacting her brother, Chase. The Lifetime docuseries, set to air on September 1 and 2, peeks behind the curtain at the personal challenges that have plagued the Chrisley children following Todd and Julie Chrisley's high-profile sentencing and subsequent pardon.
Over a two-part special, viewers get to see the emotional consequences of their family's 28 months apart from their parents, who were released recently, less than two months ago, after President Donald Trump granted them an unprecedented pardon. Yet, while headlines centered on a legal spectacle, the new trailer shows the emotional fracture it left behind. Savannah is shown talking about the day her parents were ripped from her. "I will never forget them opening the door and just watching them walk away," she said.

There is a quavering edge to her voice, in pain and in clarity, that indicates just how deep the trauma ran. But more distressingly is the concern she has for her older brother Chase, 29. "Chase isn't Chase," Savannah says. "It's literally like a blank shell. He needs help. There's part of me that's so afraid he's going to die." That chilling confession forms the emotional centre of the trailer. It is a sister's plea, not only for comprehension but also for intervention. Chase himself expresses a similar sentiment, conceding, "Not having my parents around almost felt like a death." His demure composure is shattered, and we see a soft side that fans of the family's previous forays into reality television have seldom encountered.
The Chrisleys: Back to Reality is set up promising more than just a post-scandal redemption arc. It's an unsparing examination of grief, resilience, and the suffocating burden of public scrutiny. As Savannah becomes increasingly a protector and a truth teller, the series shifts from being simply a legal drama to exploring deep personal healing. Whether you're familiar with the Chrisleys starting at their reality TV origins or are jumping in, this new era offers a compelling and often devastating look inside what it truly means to be a family torn apart by scandal and survival.
