For the longest time, fans of the Archer anime series had been anxious about the end of the franchise. Most of the angst was due to the presence of filmmaker Adam Reed in the team. All the past works of the showrunner were seen to end on an early note. However, Archer Season 13 is likely to end this chain of misfortune. Ever since the finale episode of the twelfth season came to a halt, fans have been looking forward to hearing about the renewal of the next installment. Here is all you need to know about the series.
Archer is the flagship animated series of the FXX production company. Since September 2009, the company has released more than a hundred and twenty-six episodes in total. The finale episode of the twelfth season came out on October 6, 2021. Now, the viewers are looking forward to the thirteenth season of the crime franchise.
Archer Season 13: Renewal Status
The 13th season of the popular crime animated series was renewed way before the final episode was close to the airing date. In the first week of September, the official Twitter account of FXX tweeted the announcement of the renewal of the series. However, fans were skeptical of the return as the show maker Adam Reed had a bad history of revivals. None of his past works had been able to make it to the end mark.
However, with Archer Season 13, the showrunner has broken the curse. Along with the renewal update, the makers have also announced a tentative release date for the next season.
Production Details!
As per the release timetable, the next production of the anime is already running under a tight schedule. This implies that Archer Season 13 is already under production. The official announcement suggested that the upcoming season is likely to have eight episodes in total. While the animation work of eight episodes only takes half a years’ time, the special animation of the Archer anime series takes a considerably longer duration.
Thus, it can be assumed that the show is currently in the early stages of construction. In about a year, fans can expect to see a new trailer.
Archer Season 13: Plot Details!
The finale episode of the 12th season recently aired, and fans are excited to get more insights on the left-out plot details. The impending season dealt with Archer and his network of spies investigating the growing web of other underground crime agencies. One such organization that turned out to be the biggest threat to the world was the International Intelligence Agency, the IIA. While the new delinquent organization was on the rise, it also hindered the functioning of ISIS.
By the end of the season, Archer was inside the headquarters of IIA. During his investigative mission, he unintentionally called off the alarm and led to the closing of all security locks. As a result, he was trapped behind the doors with sirens ringing. The season finale ended with Archer almost escaping under the noses of the IIA guards. Now, Archer Season 13 will deal with the same storyline. The IIA has not been eliminated just yet. Moreover, Archer’s investigations have found out about the origins and secret works of this blanket firm.
The thirteenth season will look into the insurgence of this agency. The secrets behind Walter’s death will also uncover in the incoming season. Malory is likely to leave his job after coming to terms with the losses. Thus, Archer will have to deal with all the chaos and delinquency on his own.
Archer Season 13: Release Date
For the time being, the President at the FXX has only confirmed the renewal schedule of the anime series. No solid release date has been announced in the public domain. Nick Grad, President of programming at FX, says that they have no plans on halting the legacy of the franchise anytime soon. So, Archer Season 13 is set to release sometime in 2022. Fans can expect to see the anime in the Fall 2022 slate at the earliest. We will be sure to update you as soon as the news hits the floor.
