‘Duck Dynasty’ Revival Lands at A&E With 20 Episode, Two-Season Order
'Duck Dynasty' is being revived, with a new series at A&E launching this summer with a 20 episode, two-season order.
Family patriarch and then-star Phil Robertson (who had founded the Duck Commander brand) made homophobic and racially insensitive comments in a January 2014 GQ magazine interview, earning him a brief suspension by A&E (although the show wasn’t in production at the time). “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,” said Wheelhouse CEO and EP Brent Montgomery. A+E Networks has the worldwide exclusive distribution rights to the “Duck Dynasty” TV franchise, including “The Revival.” The company said it plans to find a “major streaming service” to pick up the second window of “The Revival” to post after the end of each season.
