Reports claim that "Duck Dynasty" season 7 is just around the corner.

The reality show was feared to be cancelled due to a decline in ratings. When "Till Duck Do Us Part" premiered, almost 12 million viewers tuned in. The success of the special hasn't been duplicated ever since.

However, "Duck Dynasty" season 6 had an average rating of 4.3M per episode and as The Hollywood Reporter puts it, "Duck Dynasty" remains to be the most-watched reality series on cable TV.

Alan Robertson, the eldest son of Phil Robertson has recently spilled the beans, saying:

"We know we're locked in for at least another full year - through 2015. Beyond that, we really don't know," Robertson shared.

"Duck Dynasty" season 7 updates from Duck Commander employee John Godwin claimed that the upcoming run has some episodes shot overseas.

"We've got some good things going on in it that we're pretty excited about," Godwin said. "We'll be traveling abroad and there's some good stuff."

Rumor has it that the cast has just arrived from an overseas shoot in Scotland to be exact.

Meanwhile, some rumors are starting to go around that Duck Commander Phil Robertson has been cut out of the reality show because of his homophobic comments.

In an interview with GQ, Phil was asked about the things he considered as sins. The patriarch then responded that homosexual behavior was one. This sparked outrage among the publication's readers, and has immediately spawned speculations that Phil will surely not be back because of his statement.

According to Air Herald, "Post the interview, A&E had stated that the Phil Robertson's comments are based on his own beliefs and does not reflect in the series. However, A&E is very positive and still intends to keep the Robertson family on the reality series."
