Archer is an American adult animated sitcom created by Adam Reed for the basic cable network FX. It follows the exploits of the title character, a dysfunctional, irreverent secret agent and seven of his colleagues—domineering boss/mother Malory Archer, professional Lana Kane, mild-mannered Cyril Figgis, delusional, psychotic Cheryl Tunt, gossipy Pam Poovey, openly gay Ray Gillette and bizarre, mysterious Dr. Algernop Krieger. The premise of Archer evolves in subsequent seasons as the show experiments with the standard setup of an anthology, each with self-contained arcs, new settings, a disparate set of personae for each character, even distinct humor. Beginning with the eighth season in 2017, the series moved to the FXX network.
