Savannah Chrisley has a busy slate ahead.

Fresh off being cut from The Masked Singer, the reality star tells PEOPLE the upcoming projects she's working on — some of which include her famous family.

"I mean, there's so many different things I'm working on," Savannah, 26, says. "Right now, a documentary — not only about my parents' case but the reform initiatives that I'm involved in and working with a lot of lobbyists and lawyers to testify in front of Congress on things that I have uncovered within our system."

Rumors previously swirled that a documentary based on the Chrisley patriarchs' case was in the works. But Savannah, as well as other Chrisley family members, denounced its creation since they were not involved in helping make it.

Savannah's parents Todd, 54, and Julie reported to prison in January 2023 for fraud and tax evasion. They began appealing their case just one month after their November 2022 sentencing. Now, their attorneys will be able to present their case again to a judge during oral arguments next month, which could change the trajectory of their legal fight.

The aftermath of Todd and Julie's sentencing — and its impact on the entire Chrisley family — is set to be a part of an upcoming reality series. In August 2023, PEOPLE broke the news that Savannah, Chase ChrisleyGrayson ChrisleyChloe Chrisley and Nanny Faye Chrisley had begun filming a new show following the end of USA Network's Chrisley Knows Best

"I know a few different networks are kind of in negotiations to see where that goes," she explains. "But right now, I'm so focused on my real estate business here in Nashville that has just grown exponentially. Focusing on that, the kids and then, obviously, just my parents' appeal and getting them home."

Speaking more specifically about what's to come from their new series, Savannah says it's been a "waiting" game for the famous bunch.

"Right now, the world of TV is kind of insane. Everyone, it seems like they're restructuring," she continues. "So, we're just kind of waiting to see where it lands. I know there's a few people in talks, obviously, with our agents at William Morris. So, we are just waiting."

In the meantime, fans can catch Savannah on The Masked Singer, where she was just unmasked as the Afghan Hound during Wednesday's episode.

"I think at first I was like, 'I don't know if I want to do it.' Then, I was like, 'You know what? That's me getting in my own way,'" she shares. "I was like, 'Just freaking do it, Savannah. Just show up, do it, have fun. As long as you have fun, that's all that matters.'"

Savannah adds: "After that, I had zero hesitation. I was like, 'You know what? Might as well just do it.'"
