Fans of FXX’s animated spy comedy Archer won’t have to wait much longer for the show to return. FXX has revealed the series’ ninth season, titled Archer: Danger Island, will premiere on Wednesday, April 25th at 10 PM EST.
The ninth season of Archer 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.
Returning members of the cast are also playing variations of their normal roles on Archer: Danger Island. Jessica Walter plays 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 plaus the audacious scarlet macaw Crackers.
Archer: Danger Island premieres April 25 on FXX.
