Duck Dynasty is returning to A&E with the new series Duck Dynasty: The Revival.
A&E has ordered 20 one-hour episodes over two seasons. From Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios and Tread Lively Productions, the updated show will follow Willie and Korie and their growing family of adult children and grandchildren, the next generation of Robertsons living on the family homestead in Louisiana.
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.
Duck Dynasty originally ran for 11 seasons on A&E, peaking with 11.8 million viewers, before the Robertsons decided to end the series to focus on other ventures in 2017.
“The Robertsons earned a seat in homes across the country with their unique brand of downhome practicality, southern charm and relatable humor,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, executive VP and head of programming for A&E and Lifetime. “Duck Dynasty played a huge part of the success of A&E for many years, and we look forward to reuniting with the Robertsons on the revival.”
“Going back on A&E feels a little like going back home,” Willie and Korie Robertson commented. “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 misadventure.”
Wheelhouse’s CEO and Duck Dynasty: The Revival executive producer, Brent Montgomery, added, “I was a huge fan of the original Duck Dynasty and thought it was the best reality sitcom of all time, so I jumped at the chance to work with Willie and Korie. The Robertsons live by a motto of ‘faith, family and fun,’ and that will be the heartbeat of what we bring to viewers.”
A+E Networks holds exclusive, worldwide distribution rights to the Duck Dynasty and Duck Dynasty: The Revival in all media.
