A substantial success for the network, “Duck Dynasty” took a ratings hit with its most recent season, which wrapped in March. Though the season averaged 10.5 million total viewers with Live + 7 Day numbers taken into account, the series finale drew 6 million total viewers — a considerable drop from the 8.4 million total viewers that the Season 4 finale drew.
The fifth season aired following a controversy for the show, when family patriarch Phil Robertson made anti-gay comments in an interview with “GQ.” The elder Robertson was briefly suspended from the series, but was quickly reinstated following public protest.
