Out June 3, the Lifetime series follows the 30-year-old as she adjusts to life outside of prison while navigating her troubled marriage and making up for lost time
Gypsy Rose Blanchard weighs all her options and makes up for lost time in its first trailer Life After Lock Up, the upcoming Lifetime series that follows the 30-year-old six months into her release from prison. Launching June 3, the series finds Blanchard adjusting to her place in the public eye while navigating her marriage, ghosts from her past, and her developmental delay.
“I don't want to live my whole life as the girl who killed her mother,” Blanchard says in the trailer. Released from prison in December 2023, Blanchard served nearly eight years for her role in the murder of her mother, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard. She suffered physical and emotional abuse from her mother for most of her life through what experts believed to be Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental disorder in which caregivers cause or lie about illness to others. “You know my story,” he adds. “Now, let's see what I'm doing with my life.”
The trailer highlights Blanchard's marriage to Ryan Anderson, from whom she split in March 2024 before rekindling her relationship with Ken Urker, whom she met through a befriending program while also in prison. I just think I'd be happier somewhere else,” Blanchard tells Anderson in the video, to which he replies, “Go call Ken. You're probably already talking to him anyway.”
Beyond Blanchard's romantic life, the series will also highlight the ways in which she carries her past on a daily basis. She mentions having a nightmare about her mother and expresses that her biggest fear is going back to prison. “There are so many people waiting to get me in trouble,” he says. Meanwhile, Blanchard is trying to squeeze years of experience into the shortest possible timeline.
“I'm in a rush and I want to do everything at once,” she admits in a montage that includes getting new tattoos, getting a nose job and considering the possibility of being pregnant after having unprotected sex. “I don't want to be controlled.”
