Christian Family Makes Triumphant Return To TV
A&E Network is bringing back “Duck Dynasty” with a fresh series titled Duck Dynasty: The Revival, reuniting the Robertson family for a new run. This revival will feature the original cast and is set to air this summer. A&E has ordered 20 episodes spanning two seasons, marking the return of the popular show that originally ran for 11 seasons, ending in 2017. The show, which focused on the Robertson family’s Duck Commander business in Louisiana and their Christian faith, became the most-watched nonfiction series in cable history.
The new series will follow Willie and Korie Robertson, along with their children and grandchildren, as they navigate life on their family homestead. It will also include appearances from other relatives. Willie and Korie expressed excitement about returning to A&E, calling it like “going back home” and sharing their gratitude for the support they’ve received from their fans.
There has been much speculation about whether Uncle Si Robertson would return. Korie Robertson confirmed that Si, known for his military service and comedic persona, will indeed be part of the revival, easing fans’ concerns about his health after previous social media posts showed him using oxygen. Fans have expressed relief and excitement at the news of his return.
Since the show ended, the Robertson family has remained active in various projects. Willie Robertson recently published a book, Gospeler: Turning Darkness into Light One Conversation at a Time, which explores the importance of sharing biblical truths in today’s culture. Meanwhile, Phil Robertson, the family patriarch, has faced health issues, including a blood disorder and early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, which will be addressed in the new series.
Overall, the revival will offer updates on the family’s daily lives and ongoing projects, while also sharing more about Phil Robertson’s health struggles. Fans can look forward to seeing how the Robertson family continues to grow and navigate their personal and professional lives in this new chapter.
