#Archer: Season 13 Renewal for Animated Spy Comedy Series on FXX

(FXX)

Sterling Archer and the other spies have survived another year. FXX has renewed the Archer TV show for a lucky 13th season. The 12th season is currently airing on Wednesday nights.

An animated spy comedy, Archer stars the voices of H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Judy Greer, Chris Parnell, Amber Nash, Adam Reed, and Lucky Yates. Guests include Pamela Adlon, Eric Andre, Bruce Campbell, Harvey Guillén, Kayvan Novak, and Stephen Tobolowsky. The show follows the exploits of a group of dysfunctional secret agents and the supporting staff of the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). In season 12, Archer (Benjamin) and the gang face a new threat: a spy conglomerate known as IIA (International Intelligence Agency). With a limited number of spy jobs up for grabs, can the Agency compete against the soulless vultures of IIA, or will our mom-and-pop spy agency be the next to get swallowed alive?
Airing on Wednesday nights, the 12th season of Archer averages a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 236,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season 11, that’s down by 31% in the demo and down by 25% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel.

Here’s the 13th season renewal announcement from FXX:
