Recently, Fixer Upper fans have started to think that Chip and Joanna Gaines are flaunting their wealth and success. With their newest release of the popular show, some fans believe they are showing off a little too much.
Fixer Upper Family On The Go
While the thriving Fixer Upper couple, Chip and Joanna Gaines, are undeniably successful, some fans think they are rubbing it in everyone’s faces. Undoubtedly, impressively, these two juggle many passion projects while also raising five kids: Drake, 19, Ella, 17, Duke, 16, Emmie, 14, and Crew, 5. Admittedly, work-life balance is a myth for this family. Not only are they taking on new Fixer Upper specials, but they also run their network, Magnolia Network. Additionally, they are bringing three new TV series to Max streaming. However, they are getting some pushback for their latest special, Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse.

Chip and Joanna Gaines’ beloved home renovation series “Fixer Upper” is turning 10 and the couple is celebrating with the launch of a new special edition season, “Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse.”
Premiering Sunday on the Gaines’ Magnolia Network (part owned by Warner Bros. Discovery) and HGTV, the original home of the “Fixer Upper” franchise, and streaming same day on Max and Discovery+, the six-episode “Lakehouse” follows Chip and Jo as they take on a unique mid-century modern lakehouse flip near Lake Waco, a new neighborhood for the home reno couple based in Waco, Texas.
“Chip found a set of plans in this lakehouse that showed the house was built in 1965 and the husband loved mid-century modern style and the wife loved that Spanish revival style,” Joanna Gaines tells Variety. “And you see this blend of them trying to work it out. There was something about that, me thinking about going back to the ’60s,...

Chip and Joanna Gaines have been renovating homes on television for the best part of a decade, but some fans don’t seem on board with the latest direction of the couple’s hit Fixer Upper series. Fixer Upper: The Lakehouse premieres on the Magnolia Network on Sunday, June 2, and the official Magnolia Instagram page has been sharing teaser clips from the upcoming series. “We did it; we got the lake house,” Chip says in the trailer, which shows the couple walking through the huge luxury home that includes a pool and floor-to-ceiling windows. “I bought that lake house for our 10-year celebration.” “There’s something about it that just feels significant that this project landed on our 10-year Fixer celebration,” Joanna adds before we see them demolishing parts of the house as they begin the renovation project.

Benny Safdie is late.
Frantic and a bit sweaty, he arrives at Westside Restaurant 40 minutes past our 10 a.m. breakfast, and just five minutes after I email his publicist, “Did Benny forget about the interview?”
Benny forgot about the interview.
Out of breath, he profusely apologizes, offering a Mad Lib of an explanation: “I was spray-painting a Tin Man costume in Central Park.”
Before that, Safdie spends three and a half hours answering my questions, legs cramping in a tight booth, metallic-smudged hands dancing around a heated corn muffin. “This place is awesome,” he says after a stack of plates shatters on the old tiled floor, as servers bark omelet orders across the narrow restaurant.
Safdie, 37, grew up bouncing between his divorced parents in Queens and the Upper West Side, and says he’s been coming to this particular spot since his teenage years, when it used to be open all night.

Like an avalanche, "Frozen" didn't immediately take the world by storm in 2013. In fact, it was only a few weeks into its run that it even became clear Disney had a massive hit on its hands. By the end of the year, though, everyone and their dog knew the words to "Let It Go" and the film itself had become the highest-grossing animated movie ever. By the time "Frozen II" arrived six years later, the House of Mouse had already spun off the first film into a series of shorts -- including a half-hour special themed around Josh Gad's Olaf the snowman that Disney (ahem) unwisely elected to screen in theaters with Pixar's "Coco" -- and a Broadway musical, among many other things.

Chip and Joanna Gaines may be approaching a saturation point in Waco. Since the couple first let cameras roll on their home renovation operation with 2013’s Fixer Upper, an unrivaled hit for then-network HGTV, the Gaineses have managed to transform their Central Texas town into the hub for a thriving entertainment and lifestyles brand. There, they’ve built a retail empire, started a successful magazine, launched a TV network and, as of this autumn, opened a hotel — all while becoming household names for a large portion of America. “We’ve only got 33 rooms,” says Chip, his Lone Star State modesty coming through during a late-October Zoom alongside his wife. “I don’t even think this qualifies as a boutique hotel.”
“It’s still 50,000 square feet,” notes Joanna, who began renovating the defunct Shriners lodge in 2019, when the youngest of their five children was barely a year old. (They sent their...

Showtime's "The Curse" stars Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder as two newlyweds who attempt to launch a house-flipping HGTV series in the town of Española, Nm. However, their show, and their efforts to start a family, become complicated by the presence of what might just be a curse.
The premise might sound a bit absurd, but it also may ring a few bells if you've ever seen any of television's many, many house-flipping and home renovation shows. From HGTV's "Flip or Flop" and "Property Brothers" to Netflix's "Tiny House Nation" and "Dream Home Makeover," it's clear the public has a never-ending appetite for renovation and real-estate-related television. Meanwhile, Stone and Fielder's characters themselves might bring to mind another famous couple in the televised home improvement business - Chip and Joanna Gaines, who cohosted the HGTV show "Fixer Upper" from 2013 to 2018.

Up until Thursday night, New York Film Festival had never once featured a TV show on its annual premiere lineup, so when Benny Safdie approached NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim with a new series he created alongside Nathan Fielder, the likelihood that it would get a big-screen premiere was low.
“[Benny] was like, ‘Why don’t you take a look and see what you think?'” Lim recalled at the series’ NYFF world premiere at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall on Thursday night, where Safdie and Fielder were in attendance. “So he sent me three episodes, I watched them right away and I said, ‘I need to see more.’ By the time I got to Episode 5 or 6, I called Benny and said ‘We need to figure out how to make this work.'”
“This is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen this year,” Lim continued, just before...

Since most of discovery+’s content is available on Max, some users might decide the time is now to upgrade.
The race to profitability is on, and streaming customers are facing the choice of getting out of the way or getting trampled. Ad-free streaming plans are rising in price all over the marketplace, and discovery+ got in on the game this week when it informed customers that effective immediately, its commercial-free plan was rising in price from $6.99 to $8.99 per month.
Ad-supported discovery+ brings in more money per subscriber than the ad-free plan, so its price is staying the same at $4.99 per month. But considering that much of the content from discovery+ is now available on Warner Bros. Discovery’s flagship streaming platform Max, some customers might be wondering if the time is now to make the switch.

Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder have their sledgehammers ready, but they might not only be breaking down walls in their new Showtime and A24 comedy “The Curse.” The studios have released the first trailer for their genre-defying new series, set to premiere on Nov. 10 on Paramount+ and air Nov. 12 on Showtime.
Stone and Fielder play a married couple, Whitney and Asher, who flip houses on a new show called “Flipanthropy,” seemingly similar to real-life HGTV home renovation shows like “Fixer Upper.” Whitney and Asher’s “Flipanthropy” series is produced by a character named Dougie, played by co-creator Benny Safdie, who harbors some secrets.
Despite the couple’s big break and their hopes to have a child, all is not well for the house-flipping duo. Whitney and Asher, based in Española, N.M., are soon faced with a mysterious curse that will “disturb the relationship.”

HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines attained fame via their reality TV show, Fixer Upper. And they managed to expand their Magnolia empire in Waco, Texas, to create a multimillion-dollar brand. Fans love seeing what Chip and Joanna are up to next, as they appear to have a clear and distinct path forward. But Chip admitted that there was “no strategy” in expanding Magnolia in the way that he and Joanna did.
Chip Gaines admitted there wasn’t much ‘strategy’ involved in building Magnolia
Building an empire like Magnolia is no easy feat, and Chip and Joanna Gaines put their all into their business. Before the success of Fixer Upper in 2013, Chip and Joanna started Magnolia in 2003. It then evolved into including Magnolia Market, Silos Baking Co., Magnolia Table, Magnolia Press Coffee Co., Magnolia Journal, Magnolia Realty, Magnolia Vacation Rentals, and Magnolia Home, to name a few businesses.

HGTV’s Fixer Upper put reality stars Chip and Joanna Gaines on the map. And the couple has certainly made a name for themselves in the home improvement world. Chip and Joanna built their Magnolia empire to include food, and Joanna shares her family-favorite recipes on Magnolia Table. Oddly enough, Joanna might have some food aversions, as she stated she doesn’t like this fruit unless it’s covered in sugar.
Joanna Gaines doesn’t like bananas unless they’re in dessert — or pancakes
Joanna Gaines doesn’t like bananas — but she’ll eat them under exceptional circumstances. In May 2023, she posted a bananas foster pancake recipe to Instagram for Mother’s Day. And, of course, the post featured the hated fruit.

It’s the end of an era for Good Bones as the mother-daughter renovation series is saying farewell after eight seasons on HGTV.
Mina Starsiak Hawk, who starred on the show alongside her mom Karen E Laine, opened up about filming her last bit for the show.
“Today, I filmed my last few pickups for Good Bones. Not Good Bones Season 8, but for Good Bones. So it is officially… That’s a wrap, folks,” Starsiak Hawk said on her podcast Mina Af.
Good Bones premiered on HGTV back in 2016 and saw the mother-daughter duo renovating homes in Indiana.

As fall creeps closer, major studios have to plan out their next steps if writers and actors continue to strike. At this point it’s already impossible for the fall production schedule to move forward normally, even if the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) went back to work today.
Some outlets, like Paramount Global have already announced they’ll use reruns of streaming and older network shows to fill in programming gaps this fall. New data from Civic Science is showing that viewers could respond to such tactics, at least initially.

Warner Bros. Discovery raised the hackles of some in Hollywood with last month’s launch of Max — the reskinned and renamed version of HBO Max — because the new service’s content details pages consolidated writers, directors, producers and others under a single “creators” heading.
Five weeks after issuing a mea culpa and promising to fix the situation, Wbd has now updated the listings in Max. The updates appear to be live on platforms including the max.com website and iOS and will be rolling out across all device platforms this week.
For example, on Max, the Oscar-winning film “Raging Bull” starring Robert De Niro now includes the following listings: Directors: Martin Scorsese; Writers: Paul Schrader, Mardik Martin; Producers: Irwin Winkler, Robert Chartoff; Based on Source Material by: Jake La Motta, Joseph Carter, Peter Savage. When Max launched on May 23, the service grouped all of those individuals under a single “creators” heading.

Texas offers vast, open spaces and is beefing up its industry infrastructure to attract production not only across the state but in several pockets that have become hubs for all types of media production. From the central regions in and around Austin and Waco to the western panhandle near Amarillo, the Lone Star State is positioning itself for a production boom, aided by the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive program, recently passed by the state legislature.
“We were able to receive such great funding and have such support from the legislators across the board on both sides of the aisle, from rural areas to the cities,” says Mindy Raymond, communications director for the Texas Media Production Alliance, noting the leap in funding from the previous legislative session ($45 million) to this one ($200 million).

This morning, Warner Bros. Discovery officially transformed HBO Max into Max.
The rebranded and refreshed streaming service, which was first unveiled in April at an event on the company’s Burbank lot, features a slate of new original programming (known as Max Originals) and an updated user interface that includes content hubs for HBO and HGTV.
The transition began rolling out late in the evening on Monday and early Tuesday, which did result in a small spike of user issues reported on Down Detector in the early hours around 4 a.m. to 7 a.m. The rollout is expected to continue into Tuesday across the U.S.

Max, Warner Bros. Discovery’s bulked-up and revamped streaming service that takes the place of HBO Max, makes it U.S. debut on Tuesday (May 23). Max makes several subtle enhancements aimed at making the service easier to use and more engaging — while execs say it should also be more stable than HBO Max.
According to the company, a “large portion” of HBO Max subscribers will have their apps automatically updated to Max — while in some cases, users will be prompted to download an updated Max app. If all goes as planned, HBO Max subscribers will have their previous plan info, profiles, avatars, and settings including “Continue Watching” and “My List” items migrated over to the new Max.

Tuesday marks the launch of a brand new streaming service, which in actuality is the combination of two existing streaming services. Max will play host to content from both HBO Max and Discovery+, supplanting the existing HBO Max streaming service while serving as a “boosted” version of Discovery+ so to speak. Max includes all the content from HBO Max and a bevy of content from Discovery+ in one place — it’s where you can watch “House of the Dragon” and “Fixer Upper” and “Succession” and “Guy’s Grocery Games” all in one place.
But with a new service, questions abound. Here’s everything you need to know about subscribing to Max.

Joanna Gaines can’t stay away from a new design project for long. The former Fixer Upper star left HGTV back in 2018 alongside her husband, Chip Gaines, so the two could focus on their family and pursue new projects. Since then, they have launched Magnolia Network, Joanna has started her own cooking show, and the couple even remodeled a century-old castle.
Now, Joanna is giving fans a sneak peek at her newest design project, though she is keeping most of the details quiet.

Chip and Joanna Gaines rose to fame on the popular HGTV show Fixer Upper, which ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2018. During their time on the show, the couple helped clients see a vision for their dream homes, and Chip and Joanna brought that home to life. The two raised four kids on the show as well and welcomed their fifth child, son Crew, shortly after the show ended.
After leaving HGTV in 2018, Chip and Joanna went on to launch their own TV network, Magnolia Network. However, Chip recalled in a 2023 conversation with Jimmy Fallon that he accidentally announced the network too soon — and thought he might get taken away in “handcuffs” afterward.
