A new "Fixer Upper" series is heading to HGTV.

Viewers may be saying goodbye to one of their favorite home remodeling shows, but Chip and Joanna Gaines are not leaving without any parting gift. The famous couple is wrapping up a TV show with a companion series that has 15 episodes. Each will span a half hour and will feature fresh footages from the original program. Titled "Fixer Upper: Behind the Design," HGTV said it will offer a glimpse at never-before-seen moments and "coveted design secrets."

"I can't wait to show our fans how every piece of the design comes together before the final reveal," Joanna said in a press release. "I want to nail every detail so that, when we walk away, Chip and I know we've given a family the one-of-a-kind home of their dreams."

"Jo puts her heart and soul into every fixer upper we design," Chip added. "Our hope is that these homes become a beautiful part of each family's next chapter."

In October, Chip and Joanna revealed that they are leaving "Fixer Upper" after five seasons. The couple has decided to take a break from TV and focus on their family and other business projects.

On Monday, the duo opened their highly anticipated restaurant in Texas called Magnolia Table. It serves breakfast and lunch and the menu features some of the Gaineses' favorite dishes, such as Ella's dipping donuts, Emmie's grilled cheese and Chip's ham sandwich.

Reports note that the produce, eggs and meats used in the menu are locally sourced. Some vegetables are even grown directly from Joanna's very own farm garden — proof of how Chip and Joanna are very much involved in their business.

The first of 15 episodes of "Fixer Upper: Behind the Design" premieres Tuesday, April 10, at 8 p.m. EST on HGTV.
