Viewers Are Shocked as ‘Chrisley Knows Best’ Returns to USA Network
When reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison for bank and tax fraud in January, many people expected that to be the end of their reality show Chrisley Knows Best. But not so fast.
Viewers were shocked when Season 10 of the USA Network series premiered on Monday (February 6) night.
“It’s still on? Oh.” tweeted one fan, while another wrote, “Ehhh, this is in poor taste. They’re in prison… time to cut the cord.” Another asked, “Who’s still putting money in this people’s pockets still after they stole?”

According to Deadline, Chrisley Knows Best is canceled, but some of the tenth season was filmed before Todd and Julie were convicted last June. Those episodes will still air as planned, though the overall season will be much shorter than the usual 20-plus episodes.
The season isn’t expected to show any of the Chrisley family’s legal troubles or convictions, as the majority of the filming took place before the summer of 2022.
I thought everyone dropped the Chrisleys…?

In addition, there will be no more follow-up with Savannah and Chase Chrisley and their sibling-based spinoff, Growing Up Chrisley, which aired for four seasons on USA. That series, much like Chrisley Knows Best, has been canceled.
Todd and Julie began serving their respective prison sentences on Tuesday, January 17, after being convicted of bank and tax fraud last year. Todd is serving 12 years at FPC Pensacola in Florida, while Julie is serving seven years in Lexington, Kentucky, at Federal Medical Center Lexington.

Savannah,Chase and Grayson, as well as Chloe should not have to suffer because of what there parents did.Now more than ever they need an income to take care of Grayson going to collage soon and Chloe going to middle and high school. Savannah and Chase should be able to continue to film Growing Up Chrisley to earn a living if they choose to.

Here's a wild idea: they can go out and get jobs.

Exactly! No one HAS to have a reality show in order to make a living. That kind of thinking is what leads to these wannabe “celebrities” thinking they are above and better than other people. Get a dose of REAL reality and get jobs to support themselves!

I agree. They are not the only people who have committed fraud and are still on TV. Leave the Kids alone.

Give the Chrisley family a break! WE all makes mistakes in life and they are paying for it more than we could ever know. I'm NOT condoning what they did but let's move on. Frankly, I miss their show! It makes me laugh and is always teaching a lesson! I was thrilled to run across the episode while surfing channels on Monday, 2-27-23. We all need laughter in our lives and NOT to be bitter and unforgiving. Come on people, get a life and learn to forgive and love one another as God intends for us to do! Thanks to The Chrisley's for bringing me laughter once again!😘

I think this family needs our prayers after all the Bible says those without sin cast the first stone. All of us have done things in our lives that we're not proud of. God is the only one that is perfect. And if they did do what they were accused of, they are the ones that have to pay for it and believe me they are. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family and especially Nanny Fae as she fights her battle with cancer.

#ReleasetheChrissley's. to everyone having a fit over this. Does anyone of you know how many reality stars defraud the IRS, and they didn't get a sentence like the Chrissleys? Not to mention the people out there that own the IRS and are still walking around avoiding the IRS, AL Sharpton and is walking around for years and hasn't paid and I haven't seen one Judge put him in prison he's been avoiding paying for over 20 yrs or longer why? To this putting Chrisley in jail is wasting taxpayers' money. Keep them out of jail and order them to pay the money back like selling those homes, cars, etc to pay back. Write the Judge and tell her to release them. A waste of taxpayers' money.

Shut up. They didn't do no worse than what Trumps did. The banks are at fault for still giving money after they knew they were charges on them. Let them pay it and let them go.

The chrisleys knew what they were doing when they stole and lied to get millions from banks. Sad thing if Todd’s gay lover hadn’t turned them in. They would still be on tv and stupid people like me would still be watching them. Shame on me if anyone of them are back on tv.

Let's not pretend that the American TV audience is so morally outraged by the fraud conviction that they just couldn't bear to watch the drama unfold. People would much rather see a car crash than just watch traffic circulate.

In the season 10 ópener, Julie said that she is ready to find her long term home. Now she has. I am sure that a prison camp is not what she had in mind. I can't watch this show without seeing these people through the convicted felons lense. Todd is constantly referencing his shady nature.

I’m all for new episodes…especially if they include watching how things change as prison checkin nears. And then how they deal with it after they are in jail. Sadly folks, this is an all too real reality for thousands of Americans in this country. Yeah they broke the law, but they’re paying the price for it just like so many others. Seeing how awful it is on a family might help others on the wrong path straighten out so they don’t put their family though that horror!!

LOL "seeing how awful it is on a family". They did this to themselves and their own family; they didn't lose their mansion in a storm.

Do you have any idea how much money they spent on clothes and stuff ? That money belonged to somebody else… the government should take their range rovers and Gucci loafers to recoup the millions this sick family stole
