‘Fixer Upper: Chip Bought a Mansion’: What to Know About Chip & Joanna Gaines’ New Series

Chip and Joanna Gaines will take on a massive renovation project in their latest Fixer Upper spinoff.

The couple will transform a 15,000-square-foot estate in Waco, Texas, in just three months on the new series Fixer Upper: Chip Bought a Mansion. “What began as an exciting investment quickly became a massive undertaking when they discovered the property needed far more work than anticipated,” the show’s official description reads. “Now, Jo will step in to help transform the outdated property into a beautiful home ready for its next chapter.”

Joanna called Chip’s decision to buy the mansion three years ago a “bold move” in a press release statement. “What started as a surprise quickly turned into one of our most ambitious and unique renovations to date,” she added. “It challenged us creatively and stretched our comfort zones, but my favorite part was that Chip and I really got to work side by side in order to get this massive house across the finish line and on the market.”

In a statement of her own, Magnolia Network President Allison Page said, “What makes this project so entertaining is that it begins with a big idea that only Chip could dream up. As the renovation unfolds, viewers will experience every twist and turn alongside Chip and Joanna while watching them navigate a project unlike anything they’ve tackled before. It’s unpredictable, fun, and a compelling next chapter in the Fixer Upper story.”
