‘Duck Dynasty: Revival’: Is Uncle Si Returning to Show Amid Health Concerns?
Duck Dynasty is returning to A&E this weekend with many of the original stars along for the ride, but fans are eager to find out if the beloved Uncle Si Robertson will be back, too.
Korie Robertson and her daughter, Sadie Robertson, answered that question on their Whoa That’s Good podcast in January, with the former confirming that the popular Uncle Si will be taking part in the highly-anticipated reboot.
“Is Uncle Si gonna be on the show?” Korie said before answering, “Yes, you will see Uncle Si on the show.” She added, “So much has changed. We’ve got a lot to catch people up on.”
The new iteration of the beloved series will be premiering following the death of Si’s brother, Phil Robertson, on May 25. Phil, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2024, will not be appearing on the revival series.
Meanwhile, fans had been worrying about Uncle Si’s health, too, after a social media video shared last May showed him hooked up to oxygen. Given health concerns about him, many long-time Duck Dynasty viewers thought he might not be able to participate in the new series like his younger brother.
But now that they know he will be involved, fans took to Instagram to share their excitement, with one commenter writing, “Thats what I like to hear jack.”

“Yay!! I’m so glad it is coming back!! Love the whole family!!!” said another.
“Happy, happy, happy news!!!” another added.
Another wrote, “There’s no Duck Dynasty without you Si. God bless.”
“Ohhh I’m sooooo excited for this!! I have missed them sooo much!!! Welcome back Robertsons!!!” added one fan.
In December, Willie Robertson appeared on Fox News, where he first revealed that A&E was working on rebooting the series, which he described as “the next generation of Duck Dynasty.”
Titled Duck Dynasty: Revival, the new series will catch fans up with the original cast. A&E previously confirmed it has already ordered two seasons that will include 20 one-hour episodes.
“The Robertsons earned a seat in homes across the country with their unique brand of downhome practicality, Southern charm, and relatable humor,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President & Head of Programming at A&E and Lifetime. “Duck Dynasty played a huge part of the success of A&E for many years, and we look forward to reuniting with the Robertsons on the revival.”
Duck Dynasty: Revival, Season 1 Premiere, Sunday, June 1, 9/8c, A&E
