This week, ABC News released a trailer for the upcoming The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup special. It’s ABC News Studios’ IMPACT x Nightline’s 100th episode and Season 3 finale, and is airing this weekend, Sunday, June 29, 2025.
The interview was among the first shot when Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley were released from prison due to a presidential pardon and it looks like they’re ready to talk about their experience.
And in the snippet of the trailer right at the beginning, Todd admits that he has no apologies to give to anyone about what happened or the money he’s made.
Todd Chrisley won’t apologize after his pardon
“I don’t have an apology to give you or anyone else over the money I’ve made,” Todd said. He could be referencing the federal fraud charges and hiding wealth from tax authorities. Looks like he still believes he didn’t do anything wrong.
The trailer begins with the controversial quote and then gives us a quick rundown of Todd and Julie calling them “reality stars turned convicted criminals behind bars.” But now, they’re free from prison.
“You don’t know how much your freedom means to you, until you lose it,” Todd shared.
The trailer then highlights all the work Savannah Chrisley put into her crusade to get her parents out of jail and to protest the bad prison conditions they had to suffer. Julie shared that she started crying when she heard she was going free.
All of this leading up to the interview. “Does prison change you?” anchor Juju Chang asked.
“It has to change you,” Todd answered. “If it didn’t change you, then you’re not human.”
She then delved into the question on everyone’s mind. “We’re talking serious charges, bank fraud, wire fraud, tax evasion,” she began. The trailer showed Todd prepared to answer but didn’t share what he said.
The couple also touched on the fact that they know that not everyone believes they should be freed. “I’m not oblivious to the fact that some people don’t agree with it,” Julie admitted.
The trailer ends with Juju’s question, “What, if anything, do you think you did wrong?” The answer to that one should be interesting.
The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup on News Impact x Nightline streams on Sunday, June 29 on Hulu and Disney+.
