Duck, Duck... Reboot!

They're back! The Robertson family is returning to their reality TV roots with Duck Dynasty: The Revival

- CHRISTINA GARIBALDI & JAIME HARKIN

In 2012, Duck Dynasty premiered on A&E and introduced the world to the Louisiana-based Robertson family and their multi-million-dollar duck call business. The reality series, which ran for 11 seasons, quickly became a pop culture phenomenon with an average of 14 million viewers, spin-offs, best-selling books and even a Christmas album — Duck the Halls, naturally.

Fans couldn't get enough of the bearded, camo-clad, no-nonsense Robertson men (patriarch Phil, his eccentric brother Uncle Si, and sons Willie, Jase, Jep and Alan) and their hijinks (think epic lawn mower races and blowing up a beaver dam with homemade explosives). Filled with humor and heart, each episode ended with the gang gathered around the table for a meal and a prayer with their wives and kids — a nod to their “family, faith and ducks” motto.

Eight years after the original went off the air, the Robertsons are back with Duck Dynasty: The Revival (June 1, 9 P.M. on A&E), which follows Willie, his wife, Korie, their kids and their spouses as they figure out the future of the family biz. Si and Willie's mom, Miss Kay, are back, but Phil, who's suffering from Alzheimer's, isn't featured. Willie's brothers Jase and Jep are “sprinkled in,” says Korie, who also notes that their youngest son, Rowdy, 22, is away at college.

“I never thought we'd do this again,” admits Willie, who's now “semi-retired” and looking for someone to take the reins of Duck Commander. “But I realized people wanted to see what we're doing.” Adds Korie: “The timing felt right. It's been fun bringing people into the next part of our life.” The cast talks to Us about their marriages, embarrassing moments and what fans can expect this time around.
