'Duck Dynasty' Season 7 Cancelled Because Of Low Ratings? Duck Commander Phil Robertson In Boiling Water Over Homophobic Comments; New Updates Here!
"Duck Dynasty" season 7 is underway! Alan Robertson, the eldest son of Phil Robertson has recently spilled the beans, saying:
"We know we're locked in for at least another full year - through 2015. Beyond that, we really don't know," Robertson shared.
"We have recommitted this year - both our family and the network production crew - to putting out some really good stories from our family that we can all enjoy. I think this next year's going to be really, really good."
Some rumors are starting to go around that Duck Commander Phil Robertson has been cut out of the reality show because of his homophobic comments.
In an interview with GQ, Phil was asked about the things he considered as sins. The patriarch then responded that homosexual behavior was one. This sparked outrage among the publication's readers, and has immediately spawned speculations that Phil will surely not be back because of his statement.
According to Air Herald,"Post the interview, A&E had stated that the Phil Robertson's comments are based on his own beliefs and does not reflect in the series. However, A&E is very positive and still intends to keep the Robertson family on the reality series."
The reality show was feared to be cancelled due to a decline in ratings. When "Til Duck Do Us Part" premiered, almost 12 million viewers tuned in. The success of the special hasn't been duplicated ever since.
However, "Duck Dynasty" season 6 had an average rating of 4.3M per episode and that was enough reason for A&E to sign the bunch for another season. And as The Hollywood Reporter puts it, "Duck Dynasty" remains to be the most-watched reality series on cable TV.
New reports are claiming that the cast is filming "Duck Dynasty" season 7 after the previous run ended last August 13. Duck Commander employee John Godwin shared that filming began last week.
"We've got some good things going on in it that we're pretty excited about," Godwin said. "We'll be traveling abroad and there's some good stuff."
What do you think of "Duck Dynasty" season 7? What do you think can the Robertson clan offer more this season?
