Savannah Chrisley Confronts Family Feuds and Steps Up for Brother in ‘Back to Reality’ Premiere

In the two-night launch of Lifetime’s docuseries The Chrisleys: Back to Reality, which premiered September 1, Savannah Chrisley, 28, laid bare the simmering tensions within the family while revealing her unwavering support for younger brother Chase amid personal struggles.

Sibling Rift on Full Display During the series’ first episode, the former Chrisley Knows Best star and Chase, 29, openly admitted they remain on “rocky terms” following their parents’ incarceration two and a half years ago. Savannah accused Chase of failing to “pick up a single ounce of slack” in advocating for their parents’ release, calling their interactions “strictly performative” and fueled by personal gain. Footage of an awkward family dinner captured the palpable resentment between the two, underscoring the deep fissures left by the family’s legal battles.

Savannah Arranges Chase’s Rehab In the Sept. 1 airing of the show’s second episode, viewers learned that Savannah had quietly organized rehab treatment for Chase following his January 2025 arrest in an alleged bar fight. Sources revealed that, recognizing her brother’s need for professional help, Savannah coordinated with treatment providers to ensure he received support for substance misuse-an effort she undertook despite the longstanding feud.

A New Chapter for the Chrisleys With Todd and Julie Chrisley recently pardoned and released from prison, Back to Reality promises an unvarnished look at how each family member is coping. Savannah’s dual roles-both as the family’s public spokesperson in Washington and as the primary caretaker for younger sister Chloe, 13-invite viewers into a narrative of resilience amidst turmoil. The series continues Sept. 2 at 8 p.m. ET on Lifetime, with new episodes airing Mondays and Tuesdays through its Sept. 16 finale.
