Chip and Joanna Gaines will call their upcoming TV network “Magnolia,” after their home design brand, the couple announced at the fifth annual “Silobration” at their headquarters in Waco, Texas.
The Gaines also announced their debut show, HOME ON THE ROAD, will be a reality TV series following Christian musicians Abner and Amanda Ramirez of the folk band JOHNNYSWIM.

“WE’RE MAKING TELEVISION!” Joanna said via Instagram. “It’s been over five years since we first met Abner and Amanda and have been endlessly drawn to the way they approach everything they do.”
She added, “They’re dreamers, musicians, artists, storytellers and parents—living life out of a tour bus and making the most out of every town they visit. We’re so excited to work with them on telling their story on our network with @discoveryinctv. Let’s make some magic, @johnnyswim! #HomeOnTheRoad”
The Gaines aren’t the only couple excited about the series.
“OMG WERE DOING A TV SHOW WITH @joannagaines @chipgaines @discoveryinctv #MagnoliaNetwork #HomeOnTheRoad COMIN SOOOOON (ish)”
The couple elaborated a bit more in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
“When you’re on the road as much as we are, time spent at home starts to feel a lot like vacation,” JOHNNYSWIM said. “We decided early on that we want to spend as much time together as possible, so when we go on tour, we all go on tour. We’d be lying if we said the idea of traveling the country with your bandmates, a 4-year-old and a 12-month-old wasn’t a little bit scary, but it’s all we know. No matter what, we’re going to make home on the road.”
