Get ready for a brand-new season of Fixer Upper. The final season will premiere in November, and fans will also see a new spin-off titled Fixer Upper: Behind the Design.
HGTV revealed more about the return of Fixer Upper in a press release. Check that out below.
After attracting more than 27.5 million viewers during its previous run, HGTV’s smash hit series Fixer Upper, featuring power couple Chip and Joanna Gaines, will return for its fifth season on Tuesday, November 21, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Fixer Upper follows Chip and Joanna as they fix up homes in their Waco, Texas, hometown. The long-awaited 19 one-hour episodes will star the popular home renovation duo, who also have been showcased in the pages of HGTV Magazine, on the covers of numerous national print publications and in interviews on national talk shows.
Fresh episodes of Fixer Upper will feature more families who look to the Gaines for help evaluating and transforming a fixer upper into the home of their dreams. The new season also will feature special guests, including former First Lady Laura Bush and football star Tim Tebow. Fans can visit HGTV.com/FixerUpper throughout the new season for exclusive online content, including behind-the-scenes videos and photo galleries. They also can interact on social media using #FixerUpper.
“We are really, really proud of season five. We laid it all on the field and didn’t hold anything back,” said Chip, while Joanna added, “We love renovating homes for all these beautiful families. It has become such a big part of our lives.”
The premiere episode of season five features Matt and Samantha, a couple who is moving to Waco from Austin, Texas, to find their first family home. They want a historic charmer with lots of room in the budget so that Chip and Joanna can customize it to perfection. To make the renovation more personal, the Gaines secretly ask Matt’s grandfather, a woodworker in Kansas City, to build hand-crafted end tables for the couple’s home.
“Fixer Upper fans are going to love this season,” said Allison Page, general manager, U.S. Programming and Development for HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network, Cooking Channel, Travel Channel and Great American Country. “Chip and Joanna’s love for their family, their admiration and respect for each other, and their genuine passion for home renovation inspires everyone who watches the series.”
In May 2018, Joanna and Chip also will star in a new spin-off series, Fixer Upper: Behind the Design. The half-hour, behind-the-scenes companion will focus on Joanna’s process to create the breathtaking designs – shiplap and all – in each Fixer Upper episode.

PLEASE GET THEM OFF HE IS NOT FUNNY AND ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HE NEEDS A BATH
I just love the show. They give you so many ideas that you can use in your own home. I will always be watching the show , even the reruns.
I will definitely will be watching the final season and the new spinoff. I find myself smiling through each and every episode. There aren’t too many shows on tv that you can do that now days.
I love Jo and Chip and will miss the show tremendously-no one can make a show like this more fun than they can-demo day to antique shopping-but I hope this gives them more time with each other and all 5 kids! I will watch th spin-off and not sure if I will watch any other shows on HGTV.
How about getting back to their original roots – flippers on a tight budget – much more realistic by far for MOST Americans. We don’t usually have $100,000 plus “renovation” budgets when we buy a used home! Many of us are lucky to have $10,000, if that. The show has gotten out of touch with reality for most Americans. Sure, it’s fine to dream, but – really? I can’t afford to buy a single piece of the Gaines’ furniture line, let alone an entire house full of their stuff!
Great show. Love Joanna’s styling. Look forward to the next season and also the spin off
I really like Fixer Upper it is on of my favourite shows, love the relationship with all the family and Chip’s antics
I LOVE Chip and Joanna Gaines. I am an HGTV addict and Fixer Upper is my favorite show. I’m glad there is one more season left, but the “Behind The Design” show sounds suspiciously like they are just prolonging the good-bye. I hope not! I’m keeping my eyeballs on you, HGTV. ♥
Great show with hands on features, spontaneous humor, good editing, warm sincerity and family friendly features.
We love Chip and Joanna and we never miss a show. We were so sad at the rumor that they would stop making the show. Glad to learn that that was Fake News. They bring us so much cheer
Love Chip and JO.They are an awesome couple, great work ethics, mentors for what a family should be. I look forward to new and exciting things from these wonderful people. Texas is lucky to have them!
Roger that!
They are the best home design and restoration couple on HGTV. I was sad to read they were not going to be doing the same type of show anymore, but look forward to anything they put out in future!
I am so glad their will be another season of Fixer Upper.
HGTV was stupid for firing Joanna. Joanna made a deal with QVC to sell her. When HGTV got word they told her to stop the deal or be fired. She chose QVC. HGTV still wanted to keep Chip (who in my opinion makes the show) said no. Just think of how many MORE viewers HGTV would have had if they let Joanna do her other stuff. Hopefully TLC or A & E or some other network will sign them on. Shame on you HGTV and the stupid minds that just shot yourself in the foot!!!
How can HGTV be so stupid! Fixer Upper is their best show. What right do they have to tell Joanna what she can or cannot do as long as she fulfills her contract with them?!!
I love this show and Chip and Joanna, can’t wait to watch the new season
