FXX Announces The Premiere Date of ARCHER Season 9!
Hey, Archer fans! FXX has announced the Season 9, which is being called Archer: Danger Island, is set to premiere on April 25th! We also have a new photo from the highly anticipated season. I love this show, and Danger Island sounds like it's going to be an awesome new series! Here are the details on what story the new season will entail:
This season of the animated spy comedy finds Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) as a semi-functioning alcoholic seaplane pilot — a lush on the lush South Pacific island of Mitimotu. It’s 1939, and while the rest of the world is concerned about the looming Second World War, Archer is concerned only with who’s buying his next drink. Along with his trusty co-pilot/sidekick Pam (Amber Nash), Archer must navigate quicksand, cannibals, super-intelligent monkeys, poison darts and pirates in this dangerous and mysterious land.
Jessica Walter returns as Archer’s acid-tongued mother and hotel owner; Aisha Tyler is Princess Lanaluakalani, island royalty and local revolutionary; Judy Greer is the abandoned heiress Charlotte Vandertunt; Chris Parnell is Siegbert Fuchsthe, an obvious German spy posing as a businessman; Adam Reed as the impeccably uniformed French Capitaine Reynaud; and Lucky Yates plays the audacious scarlet macaw Crackers.
Series co-creator Matt Thompson previously talked about the new season and explains how it is meant to return the show to a lighter tone than "Dreamland":
“Last season, we loved it, but things got pretty dark, pretty fast. And [Archer creator] Adam Reed had talked about just doing something that’s fun and just having a blast with this season. So we basically stuck all these people on this tiny volcanic island, and we’re just going to have as much as fun as we can, with quicksand, cannibals, super intelligent monkeys, and a volcano, and a talking fucking parrot."
I'm happy that they are going to go with a lighter more fun and adventurous season. What do you think about the direction they are taking Season 9? Are you excited about it?
