USA loves Todd Chrisley... a lot. And they want more.
Besides the forthcoming second season of "Chrisley Knows Best," the network is giving the Atlanta reality star a test pilot of a talk show. And there are talks for a spinoff of the original program.
"Fans can't get enough of the Chrisleys, and we're excited to give viewers an even bigger dose of this entertaining, unpredictable and lovable family," said Jackie de Crinis, executive vice president of Original Programming for USA, in a press release. "Giving Todd an opportunity to bring his unique voice and unfiltered personality to late night is an opportunity we didn't want to miss."
The third season of "Chrisley Knows Best" returns June 2 with 12 episodes this summer, followed by eight more later in the year.
