Archer
Archerhas pop off to some pretty unusual seat before , including inside the body of a comatose Russian defector for a brilliant two - partFantastic Voyagesend - up . Last time of year , Archerditched its familiar international espionage milieu and head up to Los Angeles for aMagnum PI - inspiredstoryline that ended with Sterling float apparently dead in a pocket billiards a la William Holden inSunset Blvd . reference are indeed a big affair onArcher .
As it turns out , that film noir terminate for Season 7 was n’t just some random whim , buta teaserfor time of year 8 . The new time of year ’s subtitleDreamlandis possibly ( okay almost sure enough ) a give - away that everything is actually happening inside Sterling ’s mind as he floats in the kitty either dead or on the brink of death . What does a Sterling Archer near - death experience look like ? Surprisingly , not a Burt Reynolds movie .
A fresh trailer ( see it above forArcherSeason 8 show what Adam Reed and the gang have in store for fans as the show run low back in time to the authoritative era of Hollywood noir . Archerof course of instruction is a trenchcoat - wearing private dick ( and wo n’t that discussion conduce to some jokes ) , Pam is his knuckle - cracking partner , Lana is a femme fatale band loss leader ( whose lot sport Ray on trump ) and Cheryl is Cheryl but well - dressed . await much mocking of classic movie noir trope .
The first timeArcherveered aside from its adhesion - inspired universe , the resolution was the slimly controversialArcher ViceSeason 5 , set in the worldly concern of drug dealers . Archerquickly returned to its familiar scene for Season 6 but then Adam Reed patently get restless again and overturn the formula for Season 7 . go literally inside Archer ’s dreams for Season 8 seems like a bit of a gamble , but if this is what is needed to keep the show fresh , then it ’s probably the only move .
Though time of year 5 did disappoint some people by leaving the world of super - spies behind in party favour of send upMiami Vice , Scarfaceand others , there was still a lot of hilarious stuff and nonsense there , including Cheryl ’s land music turn and Pam ’s uncontrollable cocaine dependency . WithArcher , as long as the characters are being their harebrained selves , it almost does n’t weigh what time period or setting the show takes on . Perhaps forSeason 9they will go back to Ancient Rome .
plastic film noir offers a rich vein of material for Adam Reed to mine , and no doubt some completely surreal comedy madness will ensue . It make sense forArcherto go this way ; after all , " Miles Archer " was the name of Sam Spade ’s partner inThe Maltese Falcon , was it not?Archer : Dreamlandhitsits newfangled networkFXX starting on April 5th , 2017 .
