Archer Renewed for 4th Season

FX has renewed its animated series Archer for a fourth season with a 13-episode order. Additionally, FX Prods, which produces the comedy, has signed an overall production deal with Archer executive producers Adam Reed and Matt Thompson and their animation studio, Floyd County Prods. In its current third season, Archer has posted ratings gains vs. Season 2 of 62% in adults 18-34 (1.03 million), 44% in adults 18-49 (1.58 million) and 32% in total viewers (2.0 million). The show’s second season also was up from Season 1. On a weekly basis, Season 3 of Archer is averaging 3.31 million total viewers. “It was an easy decision to order more Archer,” said FX’s EVP original programming Nick Grad. “Adam, Matt, and our amazing voice cast are delivering one of the funniest and smartest shows on television.”
The overall deal with FX Prods is for two years with an option for an additional two years that will keep Reed and Thompson with FXP for any additional seasons of Archer and any new projects they develop. The overall pact also includes Reed and Thompson’s animation studio, Floyd County Prods, to continue as animators on Archer, along with FX’s second animated comedy series Unsupervised, and any new animated series produced by FX Prods or developed by FX. This is the second overall deal for FXP, coming on the heels of the mega pact with the creators of another FX comedy hit, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day and their RCG Prods. Reed and Thompson are with UTA.

This season seems more balanced than last.

Great news! Archer has been pretty consistently great, but is on one helluva run this year.

Yeah, this is easily one of my favorite shows. And not just currently airing. Never gave it a chance until a few months ago, but every episode is excellent. The show just oozes quality in every way.

I love this show. I just watched the first season on netflix. I really wish I had gotten into it sooner. I was happily surprised earlier today to see that they just added season 2.

Seasons 1-3 are on netflix streaming and season 4 is out on DVD, so they should show up on netflix one of these days.
Still, this has such great replay value it is really worth purchasing.

Season 4 is set to be released on DVD/Blu in Jan 2014.
It should be on Netflix sometime in early 2014 as well, or just before Season 5 debuts.
