AceShowbiz - The Robertsons are back. A&E announced on Tuesday, December 22, via Deadline, that "Duck Dynasty" would return to the network next month. The series' upcoming season 9 is scheduled to kick off on January 13 with back-to-back episodes starting at 09:00 P.M.
The nine-episode new season will see the Robertson clan facing new challenges, including Alan and Willie Robertson helping Miss Kay open her own bakery, the family members trying to settle an old dodgeball rivalry and pro wrestler Kurt Angle helping Jep Robertson with his wrestling.
The season will conclude on February 17 with a one-hour episode featuring a family road trip to move Mary Kate and John Luke Robertson into Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.
Once a hit, "Duck Dynasty" became the biggest nonfiction series telecast in cable history following the premiere of its fourth season in August 2013. After Phil Robertson made harsh anti-gay comments in an interview with GQ later in the year, the family patriarch was suspended by A&E and the show's ratings began to dip.
