WEST MONROE, La., Nov. 18 (UPI) — After five years and 11 seasons, A&E’s longest-running reality show, “Duck Dynasty,” is ending following its current season.

The series follows the Robertson family and their business in Louisiana manufacturing products for duck hunters.

The Robertson family announced in a video Wednesday that the current 11th season would be their last.

“We decided as a family for this to be the final chapter of the ‘Duck Dynasty’ series,” Jase Robertson said.

The reality show premiered in 2012 and in 2013 became the most-watched reality series in cable history. The series was temporarily banned from the airwaves that same year after family patriarch Phil’s anti-gay remarks went viral.

The current and final season is set to air its last episode on April 12.
