Savannah Chrisley is preparing to join the esteemed panel of The View in the coming year.

“I’ll be co-hosting The View during the week of February 15th, so you can catch me on the show all week,” shared Chrisley, 28, during the December 23 episode of her “Unlocked” podcast. “I’m thrilled because I enjoy taking on new challenges and learning experiences.”

She elaborated, “This is definitely stepping out of my comfort zone. The View has been critical of my family and me. These are the same hosts who once suggested, ‘I wonder what she did to get those pardons.’

The View features hosts like Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who frequently discuss the latest news topics. After Savannah’s parents, Todd and Julie Chrisley, were granted presidential pardons, some of the show’s hosts criticized President Donald Trump’s decision.

“According to this administration, if you are a reality star with a lot of money, and a tax cheat, and you commit fraud, then that’s good. We’re going to give you a pardon,’” Behar, 83, lamented during a May broadcast, before Navarro, 53, claimed it was “not ethical.”

Todd, 56, and Julie, 52, were convicted of fraud in 2022. Two years into their prison sentence, the Chrisley Knows Best couple received presidential pardons and were released from jail.

As for Savannah, she decided to put the past behind her and appear on The View.

“I’m going outside my comfort zone by going on a show where there’s four or five women who all believe one way — and I believe differently,” Savannah, who fiercely advocated for her parents’ early release, said. “I’m excited for it because I know God’s hand is going to be on me throughout that entire experience.”

In addition to her The View stint, Savannah plans to continue growing her podcast in the new year.

“I started this podcast in October of 2022, which is absolutely insane. If you remember, my parents were found guilty in Fulton County, Georgia, in June 2022 and [our reality TV] show got canceled,” she recalled. “That was my primary source of income, and when that got canceled, I really didn’t know which way to turn. I feel like I had a huge identity crisis.”

In launching “Unlocked,” Savannah carved out a space where she “could be 110 percent authentically [herself]” and share her opinions.

“This podcast has been so therapeutic for me, and it has shaped me into the person I am,” she stated. “I no longer feel like I have to run from anything. I can live my life as authentically as I want to live it, and if you know me, you know I put it all out there.”

Ahead of her 2026 plans, Savannah will spend the holiday season with her parents for the first time since they returned home from jail. (Savannah had custody of younger siblings Grayson and Chloe while their parents were incarcerated.)

“The past few years without my parents were unbearable. I didn’t know how to act,” she recalled. “All our traditions that we once knew were no longer there. I didn’t have Mom to do our Christmas Eve appetizer dinner. I didn’t have my dad to go Christmas shopping with.”

She continued, “I tried to go on like they were still here, and it was really hard that first year. Then, the second year, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to stop faking this [and] stop acting like they’re still here because that’s not good for my mental health. It wasn’t good for the kids’ mental health,’ and we did whatever we needed to do to just get through the holiday.”
