Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up will premiere on Monday 10th June at 9pm on Crime+Investigation and Crime+Investigation Play

Crime+Investigation is set to air Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, exclusively in the UK from Monday 10th June. The 8x60 docu-series chronicles Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s life as a free woman following her release from prison and follows her story since The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard which aired on the channel in February 2024. 

The series was produced by Category 6 Media™, part of the A+E Factual Studios™ to premiere globally on the A+E Networks channel Lifetime this June in the US.

Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up picks up immediately from the days before her release from prison on 28th December 2023, and follows her experiences as she reconnects with family and moves in with her husband Ryan Anderson for the first time.   

The series is an authentic, raw, and revealing look at Gypsy’s new life on the outside, exploring everything from the joyful moments that come with having autonomy over her decisions for the first time, to the challenges of navigating life and relationships while facing her past, including the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother, and Gypsy’s own notoriety and fame. 

In this delayed-coming-of-age story, Gypsy (32) must reconcile the pop-culture, celebrity version of herself while trying to forge her brand-new identity in a “normal” world as wife, sister, daughter, and most of all - a free woman.

Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up is a Category 6 Media™ production, part of the A+E Factual Studios™ group, with Sharon Scott, Laura Fleury, Leane Vandeman and Melissa Moore executive producing. Brie Miranda Bryant and Nicole Vogel executive produce for Lifetime. A+E Networks has worldwide distribution rights for the series.

Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up will premiere on Crime+Investigation and Crime+Investigation PLAY from Monday 10th June at 9pm.

After their press trip and makeshift honeymoon to NYC, Gypsy and Ryan travel to her family's home in Cut Off, Louisiana to confront memories of her past.
