Who loves ya, baby? FX does, particularly if you’re a fan of their oh-so hilarious animated series, Archer. Because the gang is back — sans its ISIS moniker because uh …yeah — starting January 8th (at 10PM!) and they’ve got some recertification to do in order to be ready to go. And not just Archer, everyone’s got a task or two to handle: Cyril, Cheryl, Lana, Pam, and Ray are all pushed to their limits in these hilarious new promo videos.
The forthcoming sixth season of the spy-spoof will be, essentially, the opposite of a reboot. An unboot? A deboot? Whatever you call it, it’s a return to form after the bananagrams departure of the fifth season that saw Archer and Co. form a ramshackle drug cartel in order to unload a crapton of cocaine. With that off their hands — and the adorable baby Abijean in its place — the team are back working for the CIA, in particular a fella named Slater (who is voiced by Christian Slater because the world is a beautiful and wonderful place that ultimately just wants you to be happy so chill out already, jeez).
Going back to the Mad Men-meets-Bond-ish business of the now-defunct ISIS (their version, not the super-terrorist group in the Middle East one).
But don’t just take our word for their general hilarity and goodness. Watch them all yourself right here right MEOW!
