Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network launch pushed to 2022, but it'll debut digitally in July
-
DIY Network's rebranding to Magnolia Network is scheduled to take place in January 2022, but Magnolia will make its online debut on Discovery+ on July 15. “Basically, COVID hit, and we quickly assessed and realized we were actually okay for Oct. 4, but we probably weren’t okay for Nov. 4, in that we’d shot one or two episodes and either paused (production) or completely stopped down,” Magnolia Network president Allison Page tells Variety. “And so it was getting the scale that we want and need to put forth a holistic experience that ultimately delayed us.”
