Exciting News for Duck Dynasty Fans: The Revival is Here!
After much anticipation, A&E has officially announced the comeback of the beloved reality series, Duck Dynasty. Set to return as Duck Dynasty: The Revival, the show will bring back the charm and humor that captured the hearts of viewers during its original run from 2012 to 2017.
For those unfamiliar, Duck Dynasty followed the lives of the Robertson family, led by patriarch Phil and matriarch Kay Robertson, alongside their sons Jase, Willie, and Jep. The show also showcased several grandchildren and employees as they navigated life and business at Duck Commander, the family’s successful company.
During its peak in 2013, Duck Dynasty drew an impressive 11.8 million viewers for its season 4 premiere, solidifying its place as the most-watched nonfiction series telecast in history. The show’s popularity was a testament to the Robertson family’s down-to-earth nature, humor, and relatability.
Duck Dynasty: The Revival will focus on Willie and Korie Robertson, Miss Kay, Uncle Si, and other beloved family members from the original series, including John Luke, Sadie, Will, Bella, and Rebecca, as well as their expanding families. The new series promises to bring back the signature humor and family dynamics that fans fell in love with, as the Robertsons tackle new challenges and adventures.
“With their dynasty expanding into more than just ducks, Willie and Korie will bring their signature humor and family fun as they grapple with mapping out the future of Duck Commander, watching the kids navigate marriage, children, and businesses of their own, and passing down the family legacy,” teases a logline for the upcoming series.
A&E has greenlit 20 one-hour episodes, spanning two seasons, for the revival series, which is scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2025. Fans can look forward to reuniting with the Robertson clan and witnessing the next chapter of their captivating journey.
Willie and Korie expressed their gratitude for the ongoing support from viewers, stating, “Going back on A&E feels a little like going back home. We’re thankful for all who have followed along as our family has grown and expanded and can’t wait to get cameras rolling again on all our new adventures, or perhaps misadventures.”
Executive Vice President & Head of Programming at A&E and Lifetime, Elaine Frontain Bryant, shared her excitement for Duck Dynasty’s return, acknowledging the family’s enduring appeal and the show’s significant impact on the network. She emphasized the unique brand of practicality, southern charm, and relatable humor that the Robertsons bring to audiences nationwide.
