WACO, TX (July 15, 2021) — Magnolia Network, Discovery’s highly-anticipated joint venture with Chip and Joanna Gaines, officially launched its slate of original programming today with more than 150 hours of premium unscripted programming available now on discovery+.
Representing an ever-growing roster of creators spanning home, food, gardening, design, entrepreneurship and the arts, Magnolia Network’s robust slate includes Fixer Upper: Welcome Home, Magnolia Table with Joanna Gaines, Family Dinner, The Lost Kitchen, 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 so much more, including the complete five-season library of the series that started it all, Fixer Upper. With roughly 30 additional projects currently in production, Magnolia Network will drop new episodes and series to stream each Friday on discovery+.
“From the beginning, our aim for Magnolia Network has been to tell good stories. Stories that bring us together, that inspire and encourage us all to try something new. Stories that are told in ways that feel authentic,” said Chip and Joanna Gaines. “And while our plan has evolved along the way, our original vision for this network has remained the same: to create a space where people leave feeling like it was time well spent. We’re so excited to finally share these incredible stories with you all – and we’re just getting started!”
Today also marks the launch of the all-new Magnolia app, a first-of-its-kind, immersive digital brand product providing a home for all-things-Magnolia. With a focus on delivering a stunningly beautiful and user-friendly e-commerce experience—complete with recipes, design resources, blog content, shopping perks, and more—the app itself is free and available to download now on all your favorite devices. And while the app itself is free to download, a discovery+ subscription is required to access shows as well as Magnolia Workshops in the app. Magnolia Workshops is a collection of instructional courses curated by Jo and taught by the country’s most talented names in home design, cooking, gardening and the arts like Floret founder Erin Benakein, four-time James Beard Award nominee Katie Button, plant stylist Hilton Carter, renowned watercolor painter and textile designer Helen Dealtry, interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn and pastry chef Zoë François.
