JOANNA GAINES ON FILMING 'FIXER UPPER' REBOOT WITH HUSBAND CHIP: 'WE DUSTED OFF OUR BOOTS'
Discovery dropped all the programming news during a virtual presentation on Wednesday. In addition, Discovery+ will also be the home to series premiere episodes from 10 upcoming Magnolia Network original shows.
The company still did not release Magnolia Network's official launch date as the pandemic has delayed production significantly.

“The day we wrapped our final episode of ‘Fixer Upper,’ we really believed it was a chapter closed,” Chip and Joanna shared in a statement. “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."
"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!” the couple concluded.
