'This series taps into something we've always believed–that stepping away from the noise of everyday life can bring you closer to what matters most,' Chip and Joanna said in a news release shared with Parade. 'It is proof that no matter where you find yourself, the most important part of home is the people you share it with.'
For Back to the Frontier, the families lived for eight weeks on the frontier, where they had to raise livestock, collect food, ration their supplies and reinforce their shelters via the 1880s way of life.
'This exciting new series invites viewers to step back in time and experience the challenges of the American frontier,' Magnolia Network President Allison Page said in the news release. 'By immersing three families in the realities of 1880s life, we provided them—and our viewers—an authentic glimpse into the resilience and grit required to survive. Making this series has been an unforgettable journey, and we trust audiences will find it both captivating and inspiring.'
New episodes of the eight-episode, produced by Wall to Wall for Magnolia Network and Max, will drop weekly. In the finale, viewers will find out whether the families would have succeeded or failed on the frontier.
Back to the Frontier premieres on Max and Magnolia Network on Thursday, July 10.

Sarnia 2SLGBTQ+ community to hold first Pride parade in more than 20 years on Sunday
Sarnia will hold its first Pride parade in more than 20 years on Saturday, with slightly more than 10 entrants expected to take part. The event is part of the city's recently revived annual pride celebrations, which turn four this year. "I'm very excited to see how this all unfolds," said Jessica Baker, the executive director of Queer Joy Canada, which is organizing this year's festivities. "I think there might be one that is working on a small float. … Honestly, I could not be more excited that we are going to have what looks like a genuine parade, so we're going to have a mixture of vehicles and marchers and everything like that." Pride in the Park takes place Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. in Canatara Park and includes a pet parade, pet pageant, variety hour and drag show. The parade itself starts at noon on Sunday and rolls through the park down Lake Chipican Drive. But Baker, who put together this year's events with a small committee and volunteer crew, urged more people to get involved to help Pride continue in the years to come. "I'm really hoping that we can continue to grow," she said, "to make sure that we have that longevity, that sustainability for this festival."
