By April 2025, Jase provided a more straightforward update, informing listeners, “Not good. That’s what I said.” He elaborated that the family had organized professional care to assist Phil.
Reflecting on a recent visit, Jase recounted an emotional encounter with their relative Zach. “He kind of stuck his head in the window… and I was like, ‘How’d that go?’ And Zach just lost it,” he remarked. “When you’re in these battles day by day, you kind of compartmentalize everything just so you can deal with it.”
Jace mentioned that the family, especially the younger members, endeavored to ensure Phil was comfortable and well-cared for during his final weeks, despite the difficult circumstances.
Jase also revealed that Phil’s wife, Kay Robertson, was facing significant health issues of her own. She had been hospitalized due to an infection stemming from a fall-related injury. “She was really not doing good,” he stated. “She got an infection from a cut… and she was in the hospital for 11 days.”
At that time, the family was apprehensive about the worst possible outcome. “We were kind of dealing with the fact that maybe this is it,” he added. Although Kay’s condition later improved, she continued to reside in a rehabilitation facility focused on her physical recovery.
Amidst these challenges, the Robertson family was preparing to return to television. “Duck Dynasty: The Revival,” a new 20-episode series produced by Spoke Studios and Tread Lively Productions, was announced by A&E in March 2025.
Willie and Korie Robertson, who also act as executive producers, expressed their excitement about the revival. “We’re thankful for all who have followed along as our family has grown and expanded and can’t wait to get cameras rolling again on all our new adventures, or perhaps misadventures,” they stated.
A Facebook post from the show’s official page on January 23 was the first to hint at the initiative. Plans for a new “Duck Dynasty” revival series were revealed alongside Willie and Korie in their signature camouflage.
