Chip and Joanna Gaines’ latest renovation is on hold: The launch of the Fixer Upper stars’ Magnolia Network has been delayed due to coronavirus-related production shutdowns.

A four-hour preview event for the network — a joint venture with Discovery, which was originally slated to debut Oct. 4 — will air Sunday, April 26 at 5/4c on DIY Network, which will be rebranded into Magnolia Network. The block will begin with a look back at the Gaineses’ five-year Fixer Upper journey and will continue with a sneak peek of Magnolia’s upcoming programming slate.
