HGTV Sets ‘Fixer Upper’ Spinoff, Following ‘Flip or Flop’ Playbook
HGTV is spinning off its top-rated series, “Fixer Upper,” the company said Wednesday during its upfront advertising event. Sorry, Chip — there’s nothing to demo on this one.
“‘Fixer Upper: Behind the Design’ is the perfect series for viewers who want to know how Joanna Gaines creates her signature home designs and how it all comes together so perfectly — shiplap and all — in each inspiring episode of ‘Fixer Upper,'” the popular cable channel described its upcoming show.
As previously announced, HGTV is also spinning off “Flip or Flop” into five — yes, five — new series. And there are more spinoffs where those all come from — check out the full slate of new spring and summer series below. All descriptions are in the Scripps Networks’ crown jewel’s own words.
