A&E'S HIT ORIGINAL SERIES "DUCK DYNASTY" RETURNS FOR SEASON 6 ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11 AT 10PM ET/PT

NEW YORK, NY - MAY 14, 2014 - A&E Network kicks off the summer with its #1 original series, "Duck Dynasty," following the Robertson family as they approach business and life as only they can. Season 6 premieres Wednesday, June 11 at 10PM ET/PT.

Cable's #1 unscripted show continues with a new season of Robertson family antics. Phil is more tangled in the never-ending battle with the beavers on his land than the family's multi-million dollar duck call business. Meanwhile, boss Willie is trying to keep everything afloat while managing brother Jase's deadpan humor alongside Uncle Si's backwoods philosophies. And outside of the family business, Miss Kay decides she has time to take up coupon-cutting while the whole family gathers around to cheer on Reed as he graduates from high school.

In the season 6 premiere episode, Governor of Louisiana Bobby Jindal announces that he will be paying Duck Commander a visit to present Willie with a Commerce Award. In preparation for the big occasion, John Luke volunteers to give the introduction speech but can't avoid Willie and Uncle Si's public speaking tips, unwanted as they may be. Meanwhile, Miss Kay enlists Korie and Sadie to pick out an outfit for the event and solicits Phil's reluctant opinion on her final look.

In Live+7, season 5 of "Duck Dynasty" averaged 10.5 million total viewers.

"Duck Dynasty" is produced for A&E Network by Gurney Productions. Executive producers for Gurney Productions are Deirdre Gurney and Scott Gurney. Executive producers for A&E are Brad Holcman and Lily Neumeyer.
