Duck Dynasty Season 6 finale: Will the show be renewed for another season or canceled?

Duck Dynasty Season 6 wrapped up on August 13 after ten episodes, with the last one titled Lake Boss.

The sixth season premiered on June 11. Episodes 9 and 10 aired on August 13, for a one-hour season finale.

According to the description for Lake Boss: “Jase plans a trip to the lake when Korie seeks ideas for celebrating Willie’s birthday; Phil and the grandchildren hunt for a raccoon that has taken up.”

Fans are wondering whether the show will be renewed for another season or canceled.

There’s no official word yet, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It sometimes takes weeks or even months after a season ends for official confirmation of a renewal or cancellation.

Duck Dynasty ratings have slipped this year, hitting a low of 3.4 million in episode 8 on August 6.

The show premiered back in March 2012 with only 1.8 million viewers, but climbed to 2.5 million by the end of the season.

Duck Dynasty Season 2, running from October through December 2012, found 6.4 million viewers at the season finale, and Season 3 in early 2013 climbed to about 8.5 million per episode. Season 4 in August through December 2013 had almost 12 million viewers in its premiere, although it later dipped to as low as 7.3 million.

Duck Dynasty Season 5 saw a big dropoff, down to as low as 4.7 million viewers.

This season has been the worst since season 1, with just the premiere above 4 million viewers.

On July 17, 2014, the show came in with 3.7 million viewers over all–but most importantly, with 1.4 million in the coveted 18-49 age bracket, the best for the night.
