Archer executive producers Casey Willis and Matt Thompson spoke alongside producer Pierre Cerrato about reviving the long-running spy comedy in an interview with Den of Geek. The series finale, “Archer Into the Cold,” premiered on FXX on December 17 and tied up lingering storylines from the show’s fourteenth and final season.
Thompson responded first, expressing enthusiasm for the idea: “We would love the opportunity to keep exploring these characters and their world. We are going to take a break for a while, but eventually, I am going to hit up FX with a folder full of movie ideas. The first one is going to be about Archer thinking he is Columbo (that just came to me!).”
“Emphatically yes!’, Cerrato concurred. “The series has proven that its characters are the heart of the show and can work in just about any setting. I have yet to see a more charming parrot than Crackers.”
“I think the ending of Archer: Into the Cold is very special and satisfying,” Willis shared. “If the opportunity arises in the future to do something great with Archer and the gang, I would jump at it!”
What is Archer Season 14 about?
“Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that follows Sterling Archer as he navigates the changing landscape of the spy world,” per an official description. “In season 14, Archer and The Agency found their own way with Lana at the helm. Her goal was to make money while also making the world a better place, but she quickly discovered running a spy agency isn’t so cut and dry.”
The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the world’s greatest spy, Sterling Archer; Aisha Tyler as the spy with marital troubles, Lana Kane; Judy Greer as the crazy office assistant in search of a special skill, Cheryl/Carol Tunt; Chris Parnell as the reliable company-man, Cyril Figgis; Amber Nash as the enthusiastic offender, Pam Poovey; Adam Reed as the opportunist, Ray Gillette and Lucky Yates as the experimenter-in-chief, Algernop Krieger. Season 14 also features Natalie Dew as super-agent Zara Khan.
Archer was created by Adam Reed and is executive produced by Reed, Thompson, and Willis, and co-executive produced by Mark Ganek at Floyd County Productions. The series is produced by FX Productions.
