"Duck Dynasty" is back.
Television's top-rated cable show will return with the further adventures of the duck-hunting Robertsons. The family built an empire by selling duck calls.
In the season 4 premiere, Robertson women enlisted Uncle Si to distract Phil and Kay while Willie, Jase and Jep set-up a surprise vow renewal for their 49th anniversary.
The Robertson clan have been demanding an increase in salary to as much as $200,000 per episode, according to Yahoo TV.
Alan, who will join season four of the show after 20 years of pastoral ministry, addressed the church to discuss his story and the challenges he faced when his father, Phil, who was an alcoholic. Alan also shed light on his previous martial difficulties.
"My father unfortunately fell in love with alcohol and he began running with a group of people that took our lives as a young family down a bad road," he said. "For the first 10 years of my life, for my brothers and me, it was very difficult."
Last season, the show was the second most-watched series on cable, behind "The Walking Dead." Season 3 averaged 8.4 million total viewers, 4.6 million adults (18-49) and 4.7 million adults (25-54).
"Despite their long shaggy beard and bandana-tied forehead. The 'Duck Dynasty' fellas are endearingly eccentric and funny, and bow their head in prayer over a meal at the end of each episode while one the cast members narrates a life-lesson takeaway," the Christian Science Monitor said in a review. "But it is still hard to tell if those 8.5 million viewers are laughed at or with this family who has made their fortune with a duck call fabrication business."
The family announced they're working on a Christmas album, "Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas" on June 10. It's scheduled to be released in October.
The A&E smash hit show is set to premiere Season 4 on Aug, 14 at 10 p.m. ET.
