Great American Media posted news today for the new lifestyle series, “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou.”

Press Release via Great American Media:

Production Begins on

Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou,

A Defining Unscripted 

Original Series

for Great American Media

NEW YORK, NY – April 7, 2026 – Cameras are officially rolling on “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou,” marking the start of production on what is poised to become a landmark unscripted series for Great American Media.

Starring two of the country most influential and faith-driven voices, Jep Robertson and Jessica Robertson, the new Original Lifestyle Series follows the couple as they step into an entirely new chapter – building out not only neighborhoods, but a thriving Comanche Moon Ranch community rooted in purpose and legacy and viewers will witness firsthand how vision, hard work, and conviction can transform land into legacy – and neighbors into family.

“Great American Media’s has become one of the most beloved viewing destinations in just five short years – a credit to our unwavering commitment to quality and purpose-driven storytelling – building a trusted brand and one of the industry’s fastest-growing libraries,” said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer & Chief of Staff, Great American Media. “This strength and momentum allows us to invest in new genres of storytelling while staying true to the values that define us, and to attract exceptional new voices like Jep and Jessica Robertson, whose authenticity, faith, and heart reflect the very best of our brand,” Haubrich concluded.

Leaving behind the Louisiana bayous that made them household names, Jep and Jessica are planting deeper roots in Texas – creating a gathering place designed to foster connection, craftsmanship, and meaningful living. From ranch development and community projects to moments of family and faith around the table, the series captures the real-life building of something enduring.

With production underway, “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou” signals Great American Media’s continued expansion into premium unscripted programming that reflects its core values and its growing multi-platform ecosystem, from Great American Pure Flix, Great American Family, GFAM+, multiple fast channels, and more on the horizon.

As the Robertson’s build their new frontier, viewers will be inspired to build, serve, and strengthen the communities around them. “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou” is slated to premiere later this year.

Great American Media Announces New Series: “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou”

New *Lifestyle Series* is coming to Great American Family in 2026!

See details in the press release below + keep scrolling to see a video clip about this new series and more!

Great American Media

Announces Lifestyle Series,

“Jep & Jess: 

Beyond the Bayou,”

Starring Jep 

and Jessica Robertson,

Debuting on 

Great American Pure Flix in 2026

Welcome to the Robertson’s

New Frontier: Texas!

NEW YORK, NY –December 15, 2025 — Great American Media, the leader in faith and family entertainment, has officially greenlit the Original Unscripted Lifestyle series, “Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou,” starring Jep and Jessica Robertson. The Lifestyle series will stream exclusively on Great American Pure Flix in early 2026, and also air on Great American Family and GFam+ shortly thereafter. The pair also appear in a cameo in Have We Met This Christmas?, now streaming on Great American Pure Flix.

After two years of rapid growth in producing Original Series, Great American Media is poised to enter 2026 with a strong slate and even greater momentum. The new series follows the Robertsons as they develop their Comanche Moon Ranch property, offering viewers an inside look at their journey.

Jep and Jessica’s faith-filled adventure stretches far beyond the Louisiana bayous and into the rolling hills of Texas. There, the husband-wife team have poured their hearts into Comanche Moon Ranch, a private retreat an hour from the DFW metroplex that offers a peaceful haven with fishing ponds and pickleball courts. In doing so, they’re not just expanding on the family legacy that began with “Duck Dynasty,” they are laying down roots for a future their children and grandchildren can one day call their own.

“Jep and Jessica are going to feel right at home on our network” said Kaitlyn Haubrich, Chief Brand Officer, Great American Media. “The series isn’t just about them building physical homes; it’s about creating spaces where people led by faith can truly be at home. We believe their journey will uplift hearts and inspire a deeper sense of purpose and community,” Haubrich concluded.

Jep and Jessica Robertson shared, “We chose to partner with Great American Media because their values so closely mirror our own. Faith and family are central to our lives, and we are excited to share this new chapter with viewers. We hope our journey will inspire everyone to pursue their dreams with a sense of purpose and wholehearted faith both in their own lives and in their communities.”

SERIES OVERVIEW

Jep and Jessica Robertson are expanding their horizons – personally and professionally – splitting time between their Louisiana home and a new frontier: Texas! Inspired by some recent success with vacation rental properties in the Lone Star State, Jep & Jess are going all-in, taking a risky leap of faith by making a sizeable financial investment in a potential legacy family business for their children and grandchildren. But that’s not all. As they juggle parenting, grandparenting, and the same hilarious misadventures that made the Robertson name famous, viewers will fall in love all over again. Whether it’s Jep trading duck calls for dusty boots or Jess bringing her homesteading heart to a new landscape (with a new look), this next chapter is filled with humor, heart, joy, and chaos, of building something that lasts.
