'Duck Dynasty' Returns: Your Ultimate Guide to the Cast

Jan. 15, 2014 -- intro: "Duck Dynasty" has dominated headlines for the past few weeks, and now the A&E reality TV series is finally returning to the airwaves. This season, the show's fifth, promises a few new faces (we'll get to meet Willie and Korie's daughter, Rebecca) and new adventures for the Robertson family. And though there's sure to be some drama, it's not of the type new watchers might expect: The show has never focused on the type of controversial comments made by Phil Robertson. Still, stories surrounding the family's patriarch have definitely introduced the show to a whole new fanbase.

For those looking to get into the show for the first time, here's a quick guide to who's who.

Editor's Note: ABC is a part owner of the A&E Network.

quicklist: 1 title: Phil and Miss Kay text: First of all, it's important to know about what "Duck Dynasty" is really about -- it's the story of a Louisiana family who runs a multi-million dollar duck call business. Phil Robertson, who famously eschews all modern technology, created the duck call, Duck Commander, in 1972. Together with his wife, Kay, they raised four sons, Alan, Jase, Willie and Jep. They also overcame great obstacles to stay together, but they're happy. This past Christmas, Phil, who played college football with Terry Bradshaw, gave his wife a wedding ring at last.media: 21535204

"He was about 10 or 11, in junior high, they called us from school, he had to set up a concession stand, selling candies, and he absolutely shut down the school's whole snack shop!" said his mom.
