Upcoming Premieres Include “Silos Baking Competition” and New Episodes of “Fixer Upper: Welcome Home”

Network Boasts Nearly 100 Originals in Its First Year with More Than 30 Additional Projects in the Works

Following its successful digital launch on discovery+ last summer, Magnolia Network launched its linear home on Wednesday, Jan. 5 in front of an audience of 3 million viewers, landing a spot among the top 25 basic cable networks – up 17 spots from the previous year – and establishing Magnolia Network the fastest growing cable network in 1Q22 based on YOY growth. 1Q22 was also the highest rated quarter in the network’s history for the W18+ demo.

The network’s linear launch was bolstered by the cable premiere of the series that started it all, Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, which welcomed nearly 1.7 million viewers alone. To date, more than 109 million viewers have watched the Fixer Upper franchise since the series first premiered in 2013.

“We’re so proud of the stories that launched Magnolia Network,” said Chip and Joanna Gaines. “The people we’ve met, who have allowed us to share a piece of their world with you, make it clear that everyday, everywhere, there are creators, path makers, and explorers in bold pursuit of beautiful ambitions. We’ve just scratched the surface – there are so many stories yet to be told on Magnolia Network, and we can’t wait to watch them unfold.”

Magnolia Network has produced nearly 100 originals, totalling more than 350 hours of content across digital and linear and, leaning into the early success of its inaugural programming slate, the network continues to grow with more than 30 projects in various stages of development.

“We are thrilled by the audience response to Magnolia Network thus far” said Allison Page, Global President of Magnolia and DTC. “With more than 350 hours of original content across digital and linear platforms – and more than 30 projects in various stages of development – we are delivering smart, layered storytelling that inspires creativity, upholds beauty and draws out curiosity.”

On the heels of January’s linear launch, Magnolia Network is introducing four new originals to its upcoming slate, set to premiere this year:

SILOS BAKING COMPETITION: Home bakers travel to Waco, Texas, for a friendly competition that celebrates the joy that comes from time spent in the kitchen. The bakers are challenged to perfect a favorite recipe for a cash prize and a chance to have their winning treat featured on the menu at Chip and Joanna’s bakery, Silos Baking Co. “Silos Baking Competition” will premiere concurrently on Magnolia Network and discovery+ on Sunday, June, 12.

FIXER UPPER: WELCOME HOME – THE CASTLE: Chip and Joanna take on their biggest fixer yet: a nineteenth-century castle in Waco, Texas. As they breathe new life into the historic landmark, they must also tackle its challenging infrastructure while preserving its original beauty. The first of eight episodes for “Fixer Upper: Welcome Home – The Castle” will drop on discovery+ in September.

THE HOME TEAM WITH BRITT AND ANNIE (WT): Best friends and rookie renovators Annie Hawkins and Brittany Baker impressed Salt Lake City with their creative designs. With numerous clients knocking on their door, they’re going from first-time to full-time with their own renovation start-up business. “The Home Team with Britt and Annie” will premiere on discovery+ in September.

RECIPE LOST AND FOUND (WT): Classically trained chef and food anthropologist Casey Corn is on a journey to help people rediscover their lost family recipes, diving into each family’s history and culture to reveal the magic behind the dish. “Recipe Lost and Found” will premiere on discovery+ this summer.

CHIP AND JOANNA GAINES’ MAGNOLIA NETWORK ANNOUNCES RETURN OF HIT SERIES “FIXER UPPER,” EXPANDS ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING SLATE

Designer Brian Patrick Flynn and Entrepreneur Jonathan Morris Added to Network Launch Roster

WACO, TX (August 4, 2020) – Magnolia Network, Discovery, Inc.’s joint venture with Chip and Joanna Gaines, announced the return of the beloved series “Fixer Upper,” which ran for five seasons before airing its final episode in April 2018. The “Fixer Upper” series reboot will air exclusively on Magnolia Network and will premiere at the time of the Network’s launch in 2021. The network also announced two additions to its growing slate of original programming: an untitled project featuring interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn and “Self Employed” (wt) with entrepreneur Jonathan Morris.

“The day we wrapped our final episode of ‘Fixer Upper,’ we really believed it was a chapter closed. We knew we needed a break and a moment to catch our breath. But we also knew we weren’t done dreaming about ways to make old things new again,” said Chip and Joanna Gaines. “These past few years, we’ve continued tackling renovations and projects, doing the work we’re passionate about, but I don’t think either of us anticipated how the show would become such a permanent fixture in our hearts. We’ve missed sharing the stories of these families and their homes with you, and we’re excited to do that again very soon!”

During its initial run, “Fixer Upper” was the no. 1 unscripted series on all of cable television with 75 million viewers tuning in for the show’s fifth season, including 19.6 million on a weekly basis. The reboot will be produced by the Gaines’ production company Blind Nil.

“We are thrilled to welcome back the very show that introduced us all to Chip and Jo in the first place. ‘Fixer Upper’ is a cultural phenomenon that took an entire programming category by storm when it launched in 2014, and we can think of no better way to launch this Network,” said Magnolia Network President Allison Page. “And as we continue to round out our programming slate, we’re excited to announce projects with designer Brian Patrick Flynn and entrepreneur Jonathan Morris, two talented individuals with exceptional stories. There’s a lot to look forward to, and we’re just getting started!”

Self-taught interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn’s untitled project showcases his eclectic yet distinctive style and keen eye for design. Along with his team of skilled designers, Flynn creates the most breathtaking spaces and tackles decorating projects on any budget or within any scope, all with a dash of humor.

“Self Employed” (wt) follows Fort Worth, Texas-based entrepreneur Jonathan Morris as he travels the United States meeting some of the country’s most inspiring small business owners. Together, they will share stories of unwavering resilience, insatiable ambition and the winding roads they’ve traveled to successfully build their dream jobs.

These three shows join the previously-announced slate of original Magnolia Network series, including: “Growing Floret,” “Home on the Road with JOHNNYSWIM,” “deVOL Kitchens” (f.k.a. “Bespoke Kitchens”), “Family Dinner,” “Restoration Road with Clint Harp,” “The Fieldhouse,” “Super Dad,” “Home Work,” “The Lost Kitchen” and “Inn the Works.” Magnolia Network currently has 14 original programs in production and an additional 22 original programs in development.

In anticipation of its launch, Magnolia Network will also feature upcoming talent and give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at building the Network through a digital series entitled “Road to Launch: Magnolia Network.” The series will begin this month on www.Magnolia.com/network and all Network social channels with a conversation between the Gaineses and restaurateur Erin French of “The Lost Kitchen,” a Magnolia Network original series following French’s passion for feeding people and cultivating community at her locally-sourced restaurant in Freedom, Maine.

Earlier this spring, Magnolia Network previewed its upcoming original slate with “A Look Back & A Look Ahead” on DIY Network, giving viewers a sneak peek of the incredible stories waiting to be told on the Network. More than 2.5 million total viewers tuned in for the four-part special, delivering the highest-rated day in DIY Network history among P25-54. Additionally, Food Network hosted a special one-hour event “In the Kitchen with Joanna Gaines” in April, which netted the single highest-rated weekend daytime telecast in Food Network history.

Magnolia Network is set to launch in 2021. You can learn more about Chip and Joanna’s decision to bring back “Fixer Upper” by visiting this recent blog post. For more information about Magnolia Network, please visit www.Magnolia.com/Network.
