Duck Dynasty: The Revival is hitting A&E on June 1, so we've only got a couple of days to go. This time around, however, not all of the original cast will be present. I mean, the last season of Duck Dynasty aired in 2017, and a lot has changed since then.
Duck Commander has gone through some changes, which is what will make the reboot so interesting to watch.
Sadie Robertson recently sat down with Taste of Country to discuss the show, where she explained some details. It seems that, at least in the first season of the show,
"Season 2 we are actually already filming," she spilled. "There's more cast members from the original show on Season 2."
So the first season will have fewer familiar faces, but at least we can already start looking forward to season 2. Included in the original cast absences are her uncles Jase and Jep Robertson. .
Sadie Robertson Breaks Down Current Duck Commander Pecking Order
It's been eight years since we last checked in with Duck Commander, and lots have changed. Sadie Robertson lets us in on what a lot of the original crew are up to now.
As far as Jep and Jase are concerned, there's nothing personal about their absence. They simply don't work at Duck Commander anymore.
"My mom actually runs a lot of things up here at Duck Commander," Sadie continued. "All of my podcast and Live Original team work out of Duck Commander. My brother, John Luke, works for my mom's production company at Duck Commander. My sister manages the whole Duck Commander store, so the next generation works here."
So, simply put, Duck Commander is now being run by the next generation. Jase and Jep have gone on to other endeavours as the company evolves.
Although Korie "runs a lot of things" at Duck Commander, Sadie's dad, Willie, has "semi-retired."
"My dad semi-retired, so what does that look like with his new phase of life?" she said, apparently with a smile. "As a grandpa, traveling ... and so that's kinda why there's other reasons why Jase and Jep aren't on this season."
