Plot Synopsis

GYPSY ROSE: LIFE AFTER LOCK UP is an eight-episode documentary series that follows Gypsy Rose Blanchard as she experiences life as a free woman, including reconnecting with family and finally living with her husband Ryan Anderson for the first time. The series picks up immediately from the days before her release from prison on December 28th of last year. From the joyful moments as she is free to make her own 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 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.

In the 75-minute series opener, "So This Is Freedom?," with the world watching in anticipation, and her family eagerly awaiting a reunion, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is released from prison after serving eight and a half years for her role in the murder of her mother. In her first 12 hours of freedom, Gypsy is chased by paparazzi, threatened with a parole violation if she doesn't leave the state of Missouri immediately, and reveals whether she has consummated her marriage. Gypsy's first taste of freedom leaves her fearful of going back to prison.
