Once again, Archer is rebranding with its new season. This time, the secret agent is blasting off into the space age, with Archer: 1999. While the backdrop is new, the cast of degenerates at the International Secret Intelligence Service remains just as goofy as before, albeit, with a few sci-fi variations. Archer and Lana are still divorced but are somehow trying to work together as they pilot the M/V Seamus. Mallory is still running the show, voiced to the hilt by comedy queen Jessica Walter, but is now a sphere.
As for fan favorite Pam Poovey? She’s a rock monster now. Aisha Tyler described her new character as, “if The Thing had a really bad case of eczema.” The usual cast is back, but so are fan favorites. Archer’s nemesis Barry returns, this time as a robot. Everyone’s favorite bullet magnet Brett will be present as well, likely soaking up some lead as usual.
Here’s everything you need to know to stream Archer.

Archer Reviews
What the critics are saying
- “These are still the same characters we’ve laughed with dressed in other people’s movie clothes, save for Pam Poovey (Amber Nash), who is literally built like a rock in this 10th season. This just goes to prove that the best TV delights can put on any old clothing; as long as they remain true to the core of what makes us adore them, we’ll keep our eyes on them.” –Melanie MacFarland, Salon
- “My only gripe with Archer: 1999 is that there’s no bigger plot to the season; it’s just a collection of episodes that are loosely tied together through the space-travel setup. So while it was fun to watch the crew track down a xenomorph, battle in space gladiator combat, get addicted to psychotropic alien eggs, and fight their way out of a celestial mollusk, I wish they had some greater goal in mind.” –Dave Trumbore, Collider
