Chip and Joanna Gaines bring their renovation skills to DIY Network — by transforming it into their very own outlet! The rebranded channel (debuting in October, followed by a planned streaming service) will have a schedule curated by the Gaineses, including docuseries Home on the Road, centering on married singer-songwriters Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez as they tour the country and sample local cuisine with their kids, band and crew. The Magnolia Network will also feature the full Fixer Upper library of episodes and a cooking show starring Joanna. Because let’s face it, goofy Chip can’t be trusted near a hot stove!

NBC has not yet confirmed when this is premiering, but it’s certainly a prime candidate for a splashy fall debut: Fey and 30 Rock partner Robert Carlock return to the network — and keep Danson there post – The Good Place — for a comedy about a mogul who becomes the mayor of Los Angeles, despite having zero political experience. So far, 13 episodes have been ordered and we solemnly swear to watch.
