Chrisleys Demand Rocket Sum for New Show, But Who Cares?

  • Todd and Julie Chrisley demand an astronomical sum for their new TV show deal shortly after prison release.
  • TV producers question if the high price matches the showโ€™s potential and what its angle will be.
  • Savannah Chrisley denies rumors about the pardon and may join the familyโ€™s new reality series.

Insiders reveal that Todd and Julie Chrisley want an astronomical sum for their new TV show. Sources say the couple, fresh out of prison, aims for at least $5 million to start talks. They hope this figure will spark a bidding war among TV networks. This high demand worries some producers. One insider told the Daily Mail that although many want to work with the Chrisleys, their asking price feels too steep. Producers wonder if audiences still want to watch the couple after their legal troubles. The Chrisleys served over two years for tax evasion and bank fraud before receiving a pardon from former President Donald Trump. Now, they want a big payday to return to reality TV.

TV Producers Question Whether the Chrisleysโ€™ Price Will Match Their Showโ€™s Appeal

Producers struggle to decide if Todd and Julieโ€™s price matches the showโ€™s potential success. They ask: What kind of story will the new Chrisley show tell? How will it grab viewers? These questions shape the price discussions. The Chrisley family already has a separate series lined up with Lifetime. This show focuses on their children coping without their parents in jail. Todd and Julie were not expected to feature in that show. But after their pardon, the couple jumped into filming their own project. They want multiple deals, not just one. TV executives know the Chrisleys bring viewers. Still, they hesitate to pay millions without a clear show concept.

The Chrisleys Push for a New Show Despite Past Controversies and High Costs

Todd and Julie Chrisley do not show signs of regret over their past. They want viewers to tune in without any apology scenes. The couple was convicted of defrauding banks of more than $36 million and hiding income from taxes. Todd got a 12-year sentence. Julie got 7 years. They also owe $17.8 million in restitution. At a recent press event, Todd insisted he is innocent and blamed corrupt prosecutors for their conviction. He said he would feel remorse only if he had done something wrong. This defiant attitude may affect how networks market the show. Despite this, executives say the Chrisleysโ€™ name still sells. They believe viewers will watch if the deal feels right.

Savannah Chrisley Fights Back Against Criticism Over Parentsโ€™ Pardon and Show Plans

Savannah Chrisley, Todd and Julieโ€™s daughter, faces backlash for helping secure her parentsโ€™ pardon. Critics claim she bought the pardon or used her fame to get favors. Savannah denies these rumors. She says she worked hard, begged for meetings, and never assumed anything was easy. She stresses that money, celebrity, or race did not give them special treatment. Savannahโ€™s relentless efforts, she says, earned the pardon fairly. Producers plan to include Savannah in the new reality show. Her involvement could help attract fans and improve the familyโ€™s image. Together, the Chrisleys hope their TV comeback can overshadow their legal issues.
