If you’ve been missing Chip and Joanna Gaines like I have, you’ll be thrilled to know that a special TV presentation called Magnolia Presents: A Look Back & A Look Ahead airing Sunday, April 26 on the DIY Network.

Discovery, Inc. is rebranding the existing DIY Network so that it features all Magnolia home-style programming, but we’ll have to wait for that a little longer than expected. Originally set to debut on October 4, Magnolia Network is delaying its launch amid temporary COVID-19-related production delays, but Sunday’s network preview offers viewers a chance to sample some of the incredible stories waiting to be told on Magnolia Network.

The four-hour Chip and Joanna Gaines Magnolia network preview event will kick off with “a look back” at where it all began: Fixer Upper—at its peak, nearly 17 million weekly viewers tuned in to watch the beloved HGTV series. For the first time ever, the Gaineses are sharing intimate, never-before-seen footage complete with candid commentary and previously untold stories about their five-year Fixer Upper journey.

The Gaineses then bring viewers along for a special “look ahead” at what’s to come on the forthcoming Chip and Joanna Gaines Magnolia network, including an exclusive sneak peek at the network’s first slate of original programming.
