UPDATE: Willie Robertson vows to honor his father’s legacy as production ramps up for the second season of Duck Dynasty: The Revival. The season features a poignant tribute to Phil Robertson, the family patriarch who passed away earlier this year at the age of 79 after battling health issues, including early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Willie shared that the timing of his father’s passing was deeply significant. “The show came out when Phil passed away… just within a few days of each other,” he stated. The family is embracing the emotional journey of filming without Phil, but Willie believes his father would be proud of their efforts to continue his legacy.
“It’s sad, but he’d be happy that we kept it going — especially the way the show has faith as part of it,” Willie explained. He emphasized the importance of portraying a family grounded in faith amidst the laughter and duck calls. “I think it’s important for the country to see a healthy family and to see joy in the things that come out of our family,” he added.
Willie highlighted the foundational values of faith, family, and ducks that started the original show. “The stronger our faith is, it helps keep our families together,” he remarked, reinforcing the significance of unity in both personal and professional areas of life.
Korie Robertson, the family matriarch, echoed Willie’s sentiments. Balancing her role with new business ventures, Korie affirmed that family dinners and prayers remain central to their life. “We understood from the very beginning that this was something bigger than us,” she said.
As production continues, fans can expect an emotional and heartwarming season that reflects the Robertsons’ commitment to their values. Duck Dynasty: The Revival Season 2 is currently in production, with the premiere date yet to be announced. Meanwhile, all ten episodes of Season 1 are available for streaming on Hulu.
Stay tuned as more updates unfold on this beloved family’s journey. The revival promises to resonate with viewers seeking positivity and connection in these challenging times.
