The couple’s new series, “Fixer Upper: The Castle,” drew more than 4.5 million total linear viewers for their Magnolia Network during its six-episode run between Oct. 14 and Nov. 18. The show, which followed the Gaineses as they renovated a 100-year-old castle they purchased in their hometown of Waco, Texas, is the channel’s highest-rated series among adults 25-54 behind only “Fixer Upper: Welcome Home,” the second iteration of their beloved HGTV series.

That is counting since 2009, the years when Magnolia Network was still DIY Network, the Discovery-owned channel that was rebranded and launched as Magnolia back in January as part of a joint venture between the Gaineses and Warner Bros. Discovery.

As Variety previously reported, “Fixer Upper: Welcome Home” is also a hit on the streaming side, with both HBO Max and Discovery+ — which each streamed the show,...

Discovery plans the literal combination of the two streamers.

“Chip and Jo have a huge fan base and that’s because people trust them and want to spend time with them,” Zaslav told Variety. “Everything they touch turns to gold, and we have no doubt the one-of-a-kind programming they and their talented team at Magnolia Network bring to life will prove to be an important driver for our upcoming combined streaming service. In fact, we’re already seeing this with the launch of their newest project, ‘Fixer Upper: The Castle,...

The latest season of “Fixer Upper,” a special “The Castle” edition focusing around Chip and Joanna Gaines renovating a 100-year-old castle in their hometown of Waco, Tex., just concluded its six-episode run on Magnolia Network, Discovery+ and HBO Max. But the Gaineses have already moved onto their next on-screen renovation, which is particularly significant for them, as the final product is going to be an integral part of their Magnolia empire: Hotel 1928, a boutique downtown Waco location that will cater to the throngs of people who make a pilgrimage to their outdoor shopping, dining and recreation area, The Silos.

“We are currently filming the hotel renovation and the irony there is the architect who did the work on the castle back in the day, Roy Lane, was the same architect on this hotel when it was first built,” Joanna Gaines said during a cover story interview for Variety‘s inaugural Lifestyle Leaders issue.

With their sights set on bigger and better things in Fixer Upper: The Castle, Chip and Joanna Gaines' are once again proving why they are the true power couple of home renovation shows. Throughout their time on the air on Fixer Upper​​​​​​, their clever designs and disparate personalities have made for endlessly engrossing TV.

Whether they are working on their own house or helping other people realize their DIY dreams, Chip and Jo give viewers something to aspire to while also being entertaining TV personalities. Though Fixer Upper is one of the most consistent reality shows of all time, some episodes earned much higher scores on IMDb.

While most home renovation shows present houses that are completely out of reach for most viewers, Fixer Upper presented a nice mixture that appealed to everyone.

The price of HBO Max could be going up soon — even as Warner Bros. Discovery accelerates plans to smush HBO Max and Discovery+ together next year.

HBO Max has not raised the 14.99/month price on its ad-free tier since the May 2020 launch, Jb Perrette, president and CEO of global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, noted on the company’s Q3 earnings call. By 2023, he said, “it will have been three years since pricing has moved, which we think is an opportunity, particularly in this environment.”

“We believe there’s actually some pricing advantage for us on the ad-free [HBO Max] service and we can probably move north of where the prices are today,” Perrette said.

At the same time, Warner Bros. Discovery has moved up its planned U.S. launch of the combined HBO Max-Discovery+ platform to spring 2023, a quarter ahead of what it was aiming for previously, CEO David Zaslav said on the call.

San Francisco, Nov 4 (Ians) Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd) has announced plans to launch the combined streaming service of Disney+ and HBO Max earlier than expected in the spring of next year.

Earlier, Wbd had announced plans to launch its combined service in the summer of 2023, Engadget reported.

The announcement of early arrival was made by David Zaslav, President and CEO, Wbd, in the company’s latest earnings call.

The streaming services combined have approximately 95 million subscribers, in which the large majority are those of HBO and HBO Max, the report said.

In addition to the new service, Wbd plans to launch its own free ad-support streaming TV service (Fast) in 2023, said Zaslav.

He added that, Wbd has started moving Discovery+ content to HBO Max, including ‘Fixer Upper: The Castle’, which became a top five show in just a few days.

Earlier in August, Discovery and telecommunication company AT&T had announced...

Joanna Gaines is sharing a traumatic part of her childhood.

The “Fixer Upper” star, whose American father Jerry met her Korean mother Nan in South Korea, opened up about being bullied as a child for her Asian heritage.

“We were literally the only Asians in our entire school,” she recalled to People of her small town of Rose Hill, Kansas.

As a child she was called names by classmates and teased for her lunches at school.

“It was deeply personal because that was half of my story,” Gaines shared. “I realized if this isn’t accepted, maybe I need to hide it and play more into the other side of who I am.”
