“Lana?”
“Lana?”
“Lana?!”
“LAANAAAAAAA!!!”
“WHAT?!”
“We just got renewed for three more seasons!
Earlier today, the official Twitter and Facebook accounts for FX’s hit show Archer dropped a bombshell announcement with the news that the show had been renewed for three more seasons.
It's a renewal RAMPAAAAAAAAGE. See you next year. #ArcherFX https://t.co/WxgMFvzBJt

The show, which just wrapped up its seventh season, will release its eighth season sometime early next year. These upcoming seasons will be the shortest yet, consisting of only eight episodes. Seasons two through six were 13 episodes each, and season one was 10 episodes long. Shortened seasons, especially with shows as beloved and long-running as Archer, are often signs that the end of a series is nigh, though no such indications have been made by FX yet.
On top of the Archer renewal, FX has also signed an overall development deal with the team behind the show, Floyd County Productions.
Nick Grad, FX’s President of Original Programming, had this to say of the deal:
“We can’t say enough about what Adam, Matt and the entire Archer team at Floyd County have done to keep this series so insanely funny and vital through seven seasons. 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 to be just as amazing and unpredictable. We are thrilled to continue making great TV with our friends and colleagues at Floyd County.”
Cheers to three more seasons of H. Jon Benjamin’s sultry voice coming through our televisions!
