Stephen Colbert will host so we know who's not winning his award...(jk I don't know).

'Archer' is coming back with a new set of 1940's clothes

SPoilers for the season seven finale to Archer ahead.

Serializing a cartoon is not a new concept but FX's Archer has been trying its hand at it since it began. Later seasons of the show have been more heavy handed with the style (see last season's move from ISIS to detective agency or the prior season's move to drug running). But last season's finale had its titular character killed so how could it remain the same show? Well apparently that'll be addressed in the show's new setting and time period. The eighth season is set to premiere this spring (date undetermined) in 1947 with Archer, now a real detective (and alive) and friends looking for Woodhouse's killer. 

The show is also finally moving over from FX to FXX. FXX was created for the comedies that FX aired but, since its inception, the network has aired mostly action movies and its comedy shows. Check out a trailer for Archer's season eight below.

Archer will get three more (reduced) seasons

Fans of phrasing get ready to sploosh: America’s favorite dick spy turned private dick is coming back for three more seasons. The FX -- now, FXX -- series Archer has been renewed for seasons 8, 9, and 10. The caveat here is that each season will only be eight episodes long, down from past seasons’ ten. It’s almost hard to believe that once season ten hits, there will have been a decade of this show about idiot spies. Pretty cool, right? There have already been two in-universe reboots for the characters’ job classification so who knows what the next three seasons hold. Season 8 will premiere in early 2017.

"Archer" Crew Does Some Neat Things to "Black Betty" in Teaser

Former spies/drug dealers/current spies of ISIS (name subject to change) are back in this teaser for the sixth season of Archer. They do some pretty bad ass stuff to the tune of "Black Betty" (bam-ba-lam). The new season premieres in January on FX. Start your new year off right.

Archer Dropping ISIS Name, Damnit I Had Something For This

Archer is "unrebooting" next season but, to add to that, they're also dropping the name ISIS (International Secret Intelligence Service) as well. Adam Reed (creator of Archer) reports that the show is losing its spy agency name due to...uh...have you seen the news lately? He spoke with The Daily Beast on the matter: 

“We were waiting for it to go away—at least I was. Back in Season 5, FX said, ‘This might be a thing,’ and I thought, ‘Maybe it won’t be? Maybe it’ll be the mole that I’m gonna ignore and nothing will happen.’ We got sort of lucky and could organically make a merger with the CIA, so we went back and retroactively painted out the ISIS logos in parts of the show, and we just don’t talk about it in dialogue.

“It’s just the most awful thing, and we didn’t want to have anything to do with it.”

Funny thing is, A.V. Club says that FX now has so much ISIS merchandise that it can't sell. T-Shirts; cups; all that jazz. Maybe they can send that stuff to African children much like what the NFL does with the shirts/hats from the losers of the Super Bowl. Either way, those kids will surely have something to wear and eat.
