In February 2021, PEOPLE reported that the cable launch of the Gaines’s network, originally planned for October 2020, then “early 2021,” would be pushed to 2022 due to unforeseen production delays stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our original plan was to launch in cable and follow in a streaming environment, but the most unconventional of years dealt us challenges and opportunities we never could have foreseen,” Magnolia Network President Allison Page said in a release at the time.
Instead, they launched first with streaming,debuting Magnolia Network on Discovery+ in July 2021.
Chip and Joanna also shared a statement about the news at the time. “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. Our plan has evolved along the way, but our original vision for this network has remained the same.”
