Surely, you’ve seen the commercials promoting the Magnolia Network. Well, the fans don’t have to wait much longer.
On Thursday, Chip and Joanna Gaines expand their Magnolia empire with the launch of its Magnolia Network streaming service. Expect lots of Joanna baking goodies and spinning shiplap and Chip throwing himself into sheetrock for laughs.
“We don’t really have certain expectations other than our number one goal is to create inspiring content, telling beautiful stories,” Joanna told The Associated Press. “And we can’t wait for the world to see the full slate of shows that we have to offer.”
Discovery+ has gained 15 million global subscribers since its January launch and the entertainment company hopes their popularity will drive signups and buzz.
“TV shows impact the culture, but Chip and Jo impact people’s lives,” says Discovery Inc. CEO David Zaslav told The Hollywood Reporter. “They provide something very rare in America today: a sunshiny hopefulness that you can make things with your own two hands and your life will be better for it.”
Ahead of the launch, here are a few things to know about the Magnolia Network.
How Do I Watch It?
As folksy as it likes to be, it’s not like watching old-fashioned TV through an antenna, cable, or satellite. It’s available on streaming services, online, and on the Magnolia App. You’ll find it at Discovery+, which is available online and on most connected devices such as Apple TV, Fire TV Stick, Roku, or on the Magnolia App. A Discovery+ membership, starting at $4.99, is required to stream the network. Discovery+ also includes HGTV, Food Network, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, History Channel, and more.
Will It Ever Be on Regular TV?
Yes. In January, Magnolia makes its cable debut, replacing the DIY Network. Check with your cable or satellite provided to see whether the network will be offered. The network was originally set to launch on Oct. 4, but because of temporary COVID-19-related production delays, the launch was pushed back.
What Shows Will be on Magnolia Network?
Glad you asked. Starting Thursday, Magnolia subscribers will have access to Fixer Upper, Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines, Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, Family Dinner, Homegrown, Restoration Road with Clint Harp, First Time Fixer, Home Work, Super Dad, Inn the Works, Van Go, The Artisan’s Kitchen, Growing Floret, The Johnnyswim Show, The Fieldhouse and Extraordinary Stories Behind Everyday Things.
