America Is So Back: Duck Dynasty To Return In 2025
After an eight-year hiatus, the Robertson family is set to return to television with "Duck Dynasty: The Revival," premiering on A&E in the summer of 2025.

Viewers can anticipate new storylines featuring their children—John Luke, Sadie, Will, Bella, and Rebecca—and the next generation of Robertsons. The series will blend the family's signature humor with the challenges of expanding their legacy beyond duck calls.

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."
