After ‘Duck Dynasty’ Shocked Hollywood, Willie and Korie Robertson Ramp Up ‘Light in Darkness’
“Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and Korie Robertson are continuing to inspire fans and audiences with a new musical that tells the Gospel story in a powerful and innovative way.
The reality TV stars, who are producing “His Story: The Musical,” are no strangers to Hollywood projects. After striking gold with their A&E reality show, they’ve gone on to participate in other entertainment endeavors, with “The Blind,” a new film about the family, coming later this year.
Korie said the “Duck Dynasty” experience showed the couple the important role TV, movies, and other related projects play in culture.
“The scales kind of came off of our eyes and we realized, ‘Entertainment is really shaping our culture for good or for bad,'” she said. “We just saw the impact of ‘Duck Dynasty’ and how people would come up with tears in their eyes and say, ‘Because of your show, our family is going to church now’ or ‘Because of your show, we pray together as a family’ — ‘Your show has saved our marriage.'”
Korie said the comedic antics presented on “Duck Dynasty” ended up impacting people in “really powerful ways.” Willie said being part of such a massively popular show and movement was “crazy” and exhilarating. “It was insane,” he said. “There’s no playbook for that … it was really fast, but it, I think, forged us and got us ready for even more things and different things.”
All of this has led Willie and Korie to look for ways to provide other forms of entertainment to the masses. Rather than being in front of the camera, he said they’re looking for projects they can usher in on the back end, helping to bring others’ ideas alive. In the end, they’re hoping more Christians dive into the space to help shape culture in a positive way. Find out more about “His Story” and the Robertsons’ love for the Gospel.
