“Well, you do know, we’re talking to a few production companies about doing another show,” the host revealed.

Faye added that she’s looking forward to working on a new show. “I’m ready to go work,” she shared. “I’m ready to walk down that highway any day … I’m ready.”

After Faye joked that the show could be titled “Bounce Back Chrisleys,” Savannah admitted she likes the idea “because it’s so true” and they’re “not going to allow” Todd and Julie’s time in prison to “stop us from moving forward.”

“The sun’s gonna come up, and the sun’s gonna come down. We have no control over it,” Faye added. “What we have control is we’re gonna get up and dust our pants off today and get to going. And we’re gonna let the world see that we’re really who we were. We love each other, we’re gonna walk this walk and talk this talk.”

“We’re going to touch on where we’re at today, Mom and Dad being gone, how we’re coping with it, how we get through it,” she said. “Also too, having two kids and all of us stepping in to make sure that they have what they need emotionally, psychologically, physically, all the things, I feel like there’s a level of humor to it as well.”
