A main cast member in the original series, Willie is stepping into an even bigger role this time around. Willie has stayed busy since the first show wrapped. He continued leading the family business as CEO of Duck Commander and even reopened Willie's Duck Diner in 2017 (it closed its doors again in early 2019). In 2021, he hit the stage as the Mallard onThe Masked Singerand launched a Facebook Watch talk show,At Home with the Robertsons, with his wife, Korie. The couple married in 1992 and share six children: John Luke, Sadie, Will, Rowdy, Bella, and Rebecca. Most recently, Willie published a book in 2024 titledGospeler: Turning Darkness Into Light One Conversation at a Time, chronicling his personal journey to find faith. As for their return to television, Willie and Koriesaid in a statement, "Going back on A&E feels a little like going back home. 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." Matthias Clamer/A+E Willie's wife, Korie Robertson, is also back for the sequel series. Over the years, Korie has released several books, including the parenting guideStrong and Kind: Raising Kids of Character(2017).

The movie struck a chord with audiences, earning $17 million during its four-week theatrical run. That same year, the couple also produced the faith-based musicalHis Storyin The Colony, Tex. Reflecting on the family's return to TV, Korie told theNew York Postthat things are much more relaxed this time around. When the original show premiered in 2012, "We were like 'we're going to be on television' and we got our nails done and put extensions in the hair, the makeup was perfect and all that," she said. But now? "We're kind of like, 'OK, the cameras are in our house.' We're so used to it. So we're walking out having our coffee, and the cameras are there." Art Streiber/A+E Miss Kay, the iconic matriarch of the Robertson family and wife of the late Phil, will return for theDuck Dynastyrevival.

In January 2025, he gave fans a bit of a scare whenhe was hospitalized for a bad fall. Despite his health battles, Si was eager to return to TV. According to Korie, he was the one person who "didn't need any convincing" to step back in front of the cameras. "I think he's been ready since we wrapped the last season," she toldTV Insider.
