Chrisley Knows Best is an American reality television series that aired on the USA Network from March 11, 2014 to March 27, 2023.[1] It revolves around the lives of real estate tycoon Todd Chrisley and his wealthy family.[2][3][4] The show was filmed in Roswell and Alpharetta, suburbs of Atlanta,[2] before moving primarily to Nashville during the fourth season. Growing Up Chrisley, a spin-off focusing on Chase and Savannah Chrisley, premiered in 2019.

In June 2022, Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley were found guilty on federal charges of bank fraud and tax evasion and submitting false documents to banks to take out loans and fund their lavish lifestyle.[5] In November 2022, the couple was sentenced. Todd Chrisley reported for his 12-year sentence on 17 January 2023, to Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola.[6] Julie Chrisley, who was sentenced to seven years, reported to Federal Medical Center, Lexington.[6] In September 2024, Julie Chrisley's seven-year sentence has been upheld, following an appeal, which was determined in United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta. Before the ruling was announced, Julie expressed her regret for her actions.[7]

  • Michael Todd Chrisley, who goes by the name Todd,[8] is a real-estate tycoon. Todd was born in Georgia and raised in Westminster, South Carolina.[9][10][11] He was previously married to his high school girlfriend, Teresa Terry, before marrying Julie in 1996. He has two children with Teresa and three children with Julie.[12] Todd said he has embraced longtime, false rumors that he is gay: "I'm flattered that people think I can get laid on both ends. So, that doesn't bother me and my wife certainly is flattered that as many men want her husband as there are women."[13][14] Todd was found guilty in June 2022 of federal bank fraud and tax evasion charges that involved taking out fraudulent loans funding an extravagant way of living.[5]
  • Julie Chrisley, Todd's wife. She is also from South Carolina and is the daughter of a Baptist minister.[12] She has three children with Todd: Chase, Savannah, and Grayson.[12] She also has a web series, What's Cooking with Julie Chrisley, which was launched on USA Network's website.[15][16] Julie was found guilty of federal bank fraud and tax evasion charges in June 2022 and was involved in defrauding banks to take out loans to fund a lavish lifestyle.[5]
  • Lindsie Chrisley Campbell is Todd's daughter with ex-wife Teresa Terry.[12] Lindsie eloped with Will Campbell in 2012, without getting her father's approval, although he eventually forgave Will. Lindsie and Will briefly separated in 2014, before reconciling. They grew apart and filed for divorce in 2016.[17] They later reconciled again and withdrew the divorce filing. They have a son.[12] Lindsie made her final appearance in season 5. She and other members of the Chrisley family have made various allegations against one another since then.[18][19][20][21] According to her attorney "Lindsie has been a constant target of lies, harassment and threats from her family and as a result, has been distancing herself from the Chrisley family since 2017."[22]
  • Kyle Chrisley is Todd's son with ex-wife Teresa Terry. He is the father of Chloe and is a recovering addict with bipolar disorder. He appeared in the first season before getting involved in drugs again, and had been mentioned only once since then, in the second season.[12] He announced in 2019 that he is sober again,[23] and made an appearance in the season 8 finale in 2021.[24]
  • Chase Chrisley is Todd and Julie's older son.
  • Savannah Chrisley is Todd and Julie's daughter.[12] She is a former beauty pageant competitor and won the Miss Tennessee Teen USA title in 2016 and placed in the Top 15 at Miss Teen USA 2016. She founded a cosmetic company.[25] In 2024, Savannah competed in the eleventh season of The Masked Singer as "Afghan Hound." She was eliminated on "The Wizard of Oz Night".[26]
  • Grayson Chrisley is Todd and Julie's younger son.[12]
  • Chloe Chrisley is Kyle's young daughter who is being raised by her grandparents Todd and Julie due to Kyle's problems with substance abuse.[12]
  • "Nanny" Faye Chrisley is Todd's mother.[12][22] She is from Westminster, South Carolina.

Production

[edit]

The series was pitched to ten networks, nine of them made offers to buy it.[8] USA Network picked up the series in December 2013.[27] The series was executive produced by Adam Greener, Jim Sayer, and Stephanie Chambers.[28] Maverick TV and All3Media America were the production companies behind the series.[29] The series producers had access to the Chrisleys' schedule and decided which events to film.[30] The family stated that being on television made them think twice before doing things, both on and off-camera. Julie said, "People are watching, people are looking at you. Whether that be good or bad, they're gonna catch it all."[31]

On April 14, 2014, the USA Network ordered a 12-episode second season of Chrisley Knows Best.[32] At the time the series garnered more young viewers than any other original program on USA Network, with a median age of 36.5 years among viewers.[32] The series aired its 100th episode in June 2018.[30][33]

On August 13, 2019, during the seventh season of the show, Todd and Julie were indicted by the Georgia Department of Revenue on multiple tax evasion and bank fraud charges. They turned themselves in on August 14 and were later released on a $100,000 bond.[34][35] Despite the charges, the series was renewed for an eighth season.[36][37] The couple settled the case with the Georgia Department of Revenue but still faced multiple federal charges including tax evasion.[38][39] The federal trial began on May 17, 2022, and ended on June 7; they were convicted on each of the charges against them.[40] On November 21, 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and 7 years in prison respectively.[41] Both the series and the Growing Up Chrisley spin-off were canceled, although a handful of episodes from the previously-renewed tenth season of Chrisley Knows Best, filmed prior to the trial, aired on USA Network in 2023.[42]
