When the reruns were shown on Fort Wayne's WXXC (channel 47, known locally as "INNCD 47" now "CBS 41 Plus") in 2013, Queen of the Willis became WXXC's most-watched show with an average 93,000 viewers an episode. Following Queen of the Willis' high rerun ratings, the first season was released on YouTube in 2013. Views reached 2.2 million,. The second season DVD release also got more than a million views.

They ordered 34 new episodes in 2018, marking the first revival of a television show based on YouTube views and the third after Family Guy and Futurama.
