Archer, the animated action-comedy, will return for season 12 on FXX and FX on Hulu. Archer follows world-famous secret agent and functioning alcoholic Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) as he travels the world on top-secret missions. He is surrounded by a cast of equally weird and dysfunctional characters, including his overbearing and egotistical mother, Mallory (Jessica Walter).
According to Variety, Archer has been renewed for season 12, set to air sometime in 2021. “Together with its unbelievable voice cast, Archer is set to give fans another great season,” says president of original programming for FX Entertainment Nick Grad.
Originally airing on FX, Archer’s first few seasons primarily followed Archer’s spy adventures as he worked for his mother’s private spy agency ISIS. As the series went on, the show began to experiment with other tropes and genres, like season five’s Archer Vice, which saw the spy agency transition into selling drugs. Archer went from broadcasting on FX to FXX during its eighth season.
Season 11 follows Archer as he wakes up from his three-year coma. He is still recovering from his injuries and is trying to get used to the new norm. The season 12 renewal was announced one episode before the season 11 finale, as viewership for the series has increased significantly from last season. It seems like the Emmy-winning show fans are excited for Archer to return to its roots as a spy series, and creator Adam Reed will have more time to play with this colorful cast of characters.
