Now that Julie and Todd Chrisley's kids have had a few months to settle into their new lives with their parents behind bars, it sounds like they're starting to plan for the future. Sources close to the family say that Chase and Savannah are "desperate" for a new reality TV show deal so they can start bringing in money again.

Reportedly, they're struggling to find a network that will take their show.
According to what an insider told the Daily Mail, because of what's going on in their family, Chase and Savannah are seen as a "liability," which makes it hard to pick up the show they've been shopping around — and that's not the only problem they've run into so far.
"They are having a difficult time finding anyone, frankly, because Todd is what made the show. If USA Network was interested in them alone, they would have kept Growing Up Chrisley on the air," the source said.
Their family has lost the appeal it once had to viewers.
The insider noted that, thanks to the fraud case, people have now found out that the Chrisley's success was built on "a stack of lies," and that may mean no one will be interested in tuning in.
"They didn’t have the money that they claimed to have, their family was not as perfect as they wanted people to believe it was," the source added.
Chase and Savannah are supposedly running out of money very quickly.
"Unfortunately, Chase and Savannah spent money like it would never end and they didn't save a ton of money for a rainy day," the source said. "They are both really banking on a network to grab their show and for it to be a success. Hopefully, for them, it is because they are running out of options and money fast."
The pressure is on!

Savannah and Chase have already mentioned an upcoming show to fans.
Back in February, Savannah teased the new show during an episode of her podcast, Unlocked. At the time, she said she was in talks with "a few production companies."
"We're going to touch on where we're at today with Mom and Dad being gone, how we're coping with it, how we get through it," she said.
It will be interesting to see where Savannah and Chase land.
Although it's true that some audiences have probably lost interest in following the family after Todd and Julie's fraud convictions last year, there are probably also plenty of people who want to see how Chase and Savannah are handling all this — especially now that Savannah has custody of her younger brother, Grayson, and her niece, Chloe, with their parents gone.
