The future of Archer is not in the danger zone, nor will it be for the next few years. FX has renewed the critically acclaimed animated series for three more seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

With season 7 behind us, the renewal will start with season 8, which is set to kick off next year, and bring us more of the crazy gang through season 10. The series has managed to keep its momentum so far, and we’re optimistic about the future. Evidently, so is FX.

“We can’t say enough about what Adam (Reed), Matt (Thompson) and the entire Archer team at Floyd County have done to keep this series so insanely funny and vital through seven seasons,” said Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX Networks and FX Productions, in a statement. “The move to Los Angeles this past season as private detectives was just the latest twist in Archer‘s legendary exploits, and the next three seasons will be just as amazing and unpredictable.”

The series has made big changes over the seasons to keep the action fresh and exciting. The focus was originally on a group of government agents and employees, but they later moved agencies and even locations, and most recently opened up a private detective agency. FX’s three-season renewal means another 24 episodes (eight per season).

At this point, it’s unclear what the fate of Archer will be beyond season 10. It seems that the network has left open the possibility of still more seasons, likely depending on whether the show continues to have life and its fan base remains enthusiastic. Of course, the creative team’s input will matter, too. Archer executive producer Matt Thompson previously talked to the Daily Beast about the potential for bringing Sterling Archer and company to the big screen, and he indicated that they would want to wait till the show was over but gave no indication of when he thought that would be.

Created by Reed and Floyd County Productions, the animated series is produced by FX Productions. Reed and Thompson executive produce alongside co-EP Casey Willis. The voice cast includes H. Jon Benjamin as Archer, along with Reed, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Chris Parnell, Judy Greer, Amber Nash, and Lucky Yates.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
