HBO Max and Magnolia Network Debuts “Back to the Frontier” Trailer and Takes the 1880s on the Road This Summer with Covered Wagon Pop-Ups in LA and NY [VIDEO]

Magnolia Network has released the official trailer for its new series Back to the Frontier, premiering Thursday, July 10, on HBO Max and Magnolia Network. The eight-part series, executive produced by Chip and Joanna Gaines, follows three modern families as they attempt to live as if it’s the 1880s, off the grid, without modern conveniences, and fully immersed in frontier life.

The Lopers (Alabama), Hanna-Riggs (Texas), and Halls (Florida) must live on the frontier for eight weeks, reinforcing their own shelters, raising livestock, collecting food, and rationing their supplies. Through this social experiment, the families will have to reflect on their relationships and navigate the challenges that come with an 1880s lifestyle.

To celebrate the launch, HBO Max and Magnolia Network is bringing the spirit of the series to life with an exciting interactive experience: The Frontier Wagon – a handcrafted covered wagon pop-up rolling into New York City and Los Angeles this summer. Inspired by the historic westward expansion, the wagon will make stops in each city to bring fans Back to the Frontier.

Guests will be invited to enjoy summertime treats and to customize premium western hats. The experience is free and open to the public.
