ARCHER's Eighth Season Will Take Place in 1947

The end of Archer is coming after its tenth season, but we still have three (shortened) seasons to go before Adam Reed's animated spy series airs its final episode. After the shocking events of the season seven finale (spoiler alert: it appeared that Sterling Archer died face down in a pool, Sunset Boulevard-style), we now know where the series is going in season eight — or, more appropriately, when it's going. According to IGN, season eight will be called Archer: Dreamland and take place entirely in 1947. Here are some details about what exactly we'll see:

In this 1947 timeline, for instance, Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) is no longer a spy, but rather a private investigator on the hunt for the person who murdered his old partner, Woodhouse - George Coe, the actor who voiced Woodhouse in earlier seasons passed away in 2015.

Thanks to the time shift, Lana Kane will meet Archer for the first time yet again, although in this reality, it will be as a lounge singer. Actress Aisha Tyler promised the audience that she did all her own singing.

Sounds great to me — I love how the show is constantly reinventing itself, even if sometimes the concept works much better than others. (The less we say about country singer Cherlyne and that whole season, the better.)

Archer moves to FXX and will debut its eighth season sometime in 2017.
