Todd Chrisley

USA Network picked up the series in December 2013.

The series was executive produced by Adam Greener, Jim Sayer, and Stephanie Chambers.

Maverick TV and All3Media America were the production companies behind the series.

The series producers had access to the Chrisleys' schedule and decided which events to film.

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."

Chrisley Knows Best is an American reality television series that premiered on the USA Network on March 11, 2014.

It revolves around the lives of real estate tycoon Todd Chrisley and his wealthy family.

The show was filmed in Roswell and Alpharetta, suburbs of Atlanta, before moving primarily to Nashville during the fourth season.

From 2015 to 2017, the series won the NATPE's Reality Breakthrough award for best docusoap.

Todd was busy in 2015 developing a talk-show with USA Network; he mentioned early plans for a spin-off that would focus on Chase and Savannah.

In 2016, it was nominated at the 22nd Critics' Choice Awards for "Best Unstructured Reality Series", but lost to Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

In July 2022, Matt Roush, a television critic for TV Insider, publicly expressed his disgust over the show's return the previous month in light of Todd and Julie's recent criminal convictions.

In August 2017, it was announced that USA Network had ordered a half-hour after show titled According to Chrisley.

The series aired its 100th episode in June 2018.

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.

In November 2022, the couple was sentenced.

Todd Chrisley reported for his 12-year sentence on 17 January 2023, to Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola.

Julie Chrisley, who was sentenced to seven years, reported to Federal Medical Center, Lexington.

The series was pitched to ten networks, nine of them made offers to buy it.

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.

Despite the charges, the series was renewed for an eighth season.

The couple settled the case with the Georgia Department of Revenue but still faced multiple federal charges including tax evasion.

The federal trial began on May 17, 2022, and ended on June 7; they were convicted on each of the charges against them.

On November 21, 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and 7 years in prison respectively.

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.

Chrisley Knows Best received "mixed or average" reviews according to Metacritic, based on five reviews from the first two seasons.

Tom Gliatto and Liza Hamm of People gave a positive review, saying "This is the best 'family' reality series since Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or even The Osbournes from several centuries ago."

Hillary Busis of Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review, saying "If you can get past the canned lines and sub-sitcom storylines, the Chrisley crew can be fun".

Brian Lowry of Variety gave the show a mixed review, stating that it is "intended to elicit sniggering" regarding Todd Chrisley's "'flamboyant'" personality.

In his review of the show's second season, Lowry described it as "a throwback that recycles old sitcom plots, under the guise of an unscripted series".
