Todd and Julie Chrisley's post-prison reality series drops trailer

'Chrisley Knows Best' stars Todd and Julie Chrisley are out of their jumpsuits and back in front of the camera with a new post-prison reality series. Lifetime's latest special, 'The Chrisleys: Back to Reality,' will bring the convicted fraudsters back to TV screens for four nights beginning on Sept. 1, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series will continue the following night, followed by episodes on Sept. 9 and 16. Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, were each convicted of multiple bank fraud and tax evasion charges in June 2022, with Todd being sentenced to 12 years in federal prison and Julie to seven. The Chrisleys were also sentenced to three years of subsequent supervised release and ordered to pay $17.8 million in restitution. In late May, President Donald Trump granted the TV personalities 'a full and unconditional pardon,' citing what he believed to be harsh treatment and an unfair trial. They were freed from federal lockup within hours. Todd quickly confirmed that he and his wife of nearly 30 years 'started filming literally the night' they got home from prison in Florida and Kentucky, respectively. Initially, the series was intended to follow the couple's family in the aftermath of their sentences. Their daughter Savannah said the show had essentially finished filming by the time her parents were pardoned. 'Then we get the call that they had been pardoned, so we picked right back up,' said the 'Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley' podcaster, who campaigned for Trump and spoke at the 2024 Republican National Convention. 'We're excited because I think this new show is going to give people a look into the trial and things that we went through and we're gonna set the record straight, put some documents out there,' Savannah said. Both Todd and Julie have denied any wrongdoing and were in the process of appealing their convictions prior to the pardons, though Julie tearfully apologized in court last year. 'I cannot ever repay my children for what they've had to go through, and for that I'm sorry,' she said. 'I apologize for my actions and what led me to where I am today.'

What the Epstein documentaries tell us about his case

The investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has become a centerpiece for documentaries. The big picture: Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Peacock offer multi-part series about the disgraced financier and his notoriety. Many of them include interviews with his accusers, like Virginia Giuffre, while also sharing information about the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death. The Epstein saga has received renewed attention in recent weeks as the Trump administration deals with the intense public pressure to release court files related to the Epstein probe. Tensions rose after a Wall Street Journal report alleged a "bawdy" birthday letter to Epstein bore President Trump's name. Trump has repeatedly deemed the ongoing Epstein story a "hoax." Trump also accused Epstein of poaching spa workers from Mar-a-Lago, including Giuffre, who previously alleged that Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her from Mar-a-Lago for Epstein when she was a teenager. Giuffre died by suicide earlier this year. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in a Florida federal prison. By the numbers: U.S. viewership of Netflix's "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich" documentary surged amid all the news, according to data sent to Axios from Luminate. The series jumped from 13.6 million total minutes watched from July 11 to July 17 to 73.1 million minutes watched from July 18 to July 24 — a 430% spike, per Luminate. Netflix published an article on Wednesday that pointed viewers to the documentary, too. Here's a look at the prominent documentaries about Epstein, his accusers and the investigation available on streaming. "Surviving Jeffrey Epstein" What to know: The documentary was released in 2020 through Lifetime's "Stop Violence Against Women" initiative, which included documentaries about R. Kelly as well. "Surviving Epstein," which includes interviews with Giuffre, features explicit details of sexual abuse of minors and "delves into the aftermath the survivors are experiencing with no justice to be served," according to Lifetime's description. Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video "Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich" Zoom in: This documentary is based off James Patterson's best-selling book "Filthy Rich: The Shocking True Story of Jeffrey Epstein." The 2020 four-part series includes interviews with accusers, like Giuffre, and explains how Epstein earned his wealth and fortune. " Outlining Epstein's unlikely rise to the highest echelons of wealth and power, the series dissects his years of sexual abuse of minors and the network of enablers who supported him," Netflix said in a press release. The Epstein-centered project inspired a second "Filthy Rich" documentary centered around Maxwell. Where to watch: Netflix "Prince Andrew, Maxwell & Epstein" Details: This documentary from Discovery+ runs less than an hour and focuses on Prince Andrew, who ran in Epstein's social circles and was accused by Giuffre of sexually abusing her. Andrew has denied the allegations. It also includes body language experts who examine the connection between Prince Andrew, Maxwell and Epstein. Where to watch: Apple TV, Prime Video "Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein?" Reality check: This three-part series has a rather provocative title, but the project centers around how Epstein earned his wealth and the allegations he faced. The piece also covers the widespread conspiracy theories about his death, with the final episode titled: "Suicide or Murder?" Where to watch: Hulu, Apple TV "Epstein's Shadow: Ghislaine Maxwell" Maxwell, who is still in prison after she was found guilty on multiple counts of conspiring to sex traffic minors, has been at the center of the Epstein probe recently as investigators seek more information about the financier.

Justin Trudeau spotted at Katy Perry concert after their viral dinner and fans cannot keep calm: ‘This is kind of fab'

Is this the soft launch of 2025's most unexpected couple? Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was spotted vibing solo at American singer-songwriter Katy Perry's Montreal concert and fans are convinced the romance rumours are real. Wearing a black T-shirt and pants, Trudeau kept a low profile in the VIP lounge, but couldn't escape eagle-eyed concertgoers who caught him grooving to Perry's set. Justin Trudeau spotted at Katy Perry concert 'Katy Perry's new man, Justin Trudeau already showing up for her a DAY after their first date, meanwhile, Orlando Bloom took 2 years to attend her tour. This is a HUGE upgrade,' one user wrote on X, while another joked: 'Wait, is she gonna be the president of Canada now?' Fans are already shipping the potential duo hard. One more commenter joked: 'Bro must be DOWN BAD if he's willing to go to a Lifetime concert.' So are they dating? The excitement comes just days after TMZ broke the news that Trudeau and Perry had dinner together at Montreal's fine-dining spot, Le Violon. The restaurant confirmed the pair spent about two hours chatting and keeping things low-key. No PDA, no selfies — just 'a chill vibe,' according to communications consultant Samantha Jin. While there's no official confirmation from either camp, and reps haven't responded to comment requests, the clues are adding up. Perry is currently touring Canada after a recent split from longtime fiancé Orlando Bloom. Trudeau, who stepped down earlier this year after nearly a decade in power, announced his separation from wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023. Whether this is a PR stunt, a power couple in the making, or just two people enjoying dinner and a show, one thing's for sure — people cannot look away. Safe to say Justin is absolutely having his California pop queen era.

Justin Trudeau's appearance at Katy Perry's Montreal concert has set the internet abuzz, with fans sharing viral photos and videos of the former Canadian Prime Minister enjoying the show. The sighting comes just days after the pair were seen dining together, fueling fresh rumors about their relationship. Several posts show Justin watching Katy's event at Bell Centre in Montreal on Wednesday (July 30), accompanied by his daughter Ella-Grace. The politician, 53, looked captivated as he watched the American singer, 40, perform. In a viral video, the former Canadian Prime Minister can be seen mouthing several words from the song "Dark Horse" as Katy Perry performed live on stage. He was totally enamored watching the singer rock the stage with her hits. At one point, the politician seemed completely mesmerized when Katy demonstrated an impressive pose on stage. Justin Trudeau attending Katy Perry's Montreal Concert X Fans' Reactions After watching the viral posts of Justin smiling while watching Katy's live performance, social media users began speculating on the possibilities of a romantic relationship between the American singer and the former Canadian Prime Minister. "Katy Perry's new man, Justin Trudeau, is already showing up for her a DAY after their first date, meanwhile Orlando Bloom took 2 years to attend her tour. This is a HUGE upgrade," a social media user wrote. "Justin Trudeau, knowing the words to Katy Perry's songs, meanwhile, Orlando Bloom wanted her to retire... THE UPGRADE," another user stated. "Bro must be DOWN BAD if he's willing to go to Lifetime's concert," a post read. "Imagine getting good seats at a concert and you see a former head of state just hanging out to support his new girlfriend," a social media user stated. "Wait, is she gonna be the president of Canada now?" a user asked. "This is genuinely the happiest he's been in a while," the next one stated. The dating rumors about Katy and Justin started doing the rounds online after the two were filmed dining together at the Le Violon restaurant in Montreal on Monday (July 28). A video of the politician and the singer captured the moment they leaned towards each other over a table for an intimate chat. The former Canadian Prime Minister and the American singer reportedly spent nearly two hours in the restaurant, according to a communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon. But the report suggests that they were chilling at the fine dining spot without any visual signs of PDA or anything. The American singer called it quits with her former fiancé, Orlando Bloom, last month. She began dating Bloom in 2016 and got engaged in 2019. The former couple shares a daughter, Daisy. Katy was married to Russell Brand in 2010 and they divorced in 2012. Justin officially announced his split from Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, after their 18 years of marriage. They share three children together -- Xavier, 17, Ella-Grace, 16, and Hadrien, 11.
