Julie Chrisley Set to Star in New Cooking Show After Prison Release

Julie Chrisley is cooking up something new for TV.

Six months after she and her husband Todd Chrisley, 56, were pardoned by President Donald Trump after being convicted of tax evasion and bank fraud, it was revealed on their Chrisley Confessions podcast that the reality star, 52, will be shooting a new cooking show.

Todd shared on the Dec. 17 podcast episode that Julie will begin shooting for the new show in February, and joked that he would be “producing.” However, his wife of over 30 years denied that, saying, “I’ve not heard this and I’ve not agreed to this. This is my baby. It’s not yours.”

“I’ve been doing deep dives into comments that people have put on social media, whatever. And so many people want you to do segments of what you cooked while you were at summer camp,” he said, seemingly referring to her time in prison. “So, I think that you do that. I think that you do some of those things.”

As for what she envisions the “tone” for her new cooking show to be, she shared that she wants it “to be real” and something that people could follow along to.

“I want it to be things that I actually cook, and I want it to be things that everybody else can cook,” she explained. “I don’t want it to be crazy ingredients that people have to go out here and search and find. I want the majority of it to be things that if you cook, that you would have in your pantry to cook.”

During a press conference days after their May 2025 release, Todd revealed that he and his wife had started filming for a new Lifetime reality show “literally the night that we got home.” The Chrisleys: Back to Reality began airing in September 2025.

Julie’s upcoming cooking show also isn’t the first time she has ventured into the culinary world. She previously hosted a cooking video series called What’s Cooking with Julie Chrisley in 2019, in which she shared family recipes and that featured other chefs and family members.

She and Todd, who are parents to Chase, 29, Savannah, 28, Grayson, 19, and Chloe 13, relaunched their Chrisley Confessions podcast nearly two months after their pardon and have opened up about their time behind bars and their family’s fight for their freedom.

The couple were indicted in August 2019 and later convicted and sentenced to a combined 19 years in prison in November 2022 (though that number was reduced by around two years each in September 2023). They reported to prison in January 2023.

Following their conviction, they began appealing their case, and while Todd’s appeal was upheld, Julie’s was initially granted due to insufficient evidence. However, a judge later ruled that her original punishment was sufficient.

On May 27 2025, President Trump announced that he had granted the pair full pardons, telling their children via a phone call, “I don’t know them, but give them my regards and wish them a good luck.” The pair were officially released from prison one day later on May 28.
