Joe Giudice is reportedly filming a special for Bravo with his four daughters; Gia, 14, Gabriella, 10, Milania, 9, and Audriana, 5, while Teresa Giudice is in jail.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star surrendered to her 15-month prison sentence in Danbury, Connecticut on Jan. 5 and the rest of her family started filming earlier this month.

Sources told Us Weekly discussions have been ongoing for months but they’ve finally worked out a deal. The Giudices will appear on a one-hour special that documents their life at home without Teresa, with the possibility of more episodes after that.

In April, Giudice told Us he met with Bravo executives about the special. "Now it's something for our attorneys to figure out," he said.

Page Six reports Teresa will be released from jail just in time for Christmas, on Dec. 23, and Joe will start his 41-month sentence soon after. He then faces deportation back to Italy.
