The eleventh season of the animated television series Archer, created by Adam Reed, aired on FXX from September 16 to October 28, 2020.
The eleventh season was scheduled to premiere on May 6, 2020,[1] but was postponed until September 16 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] [3]
The episode "Bloodsploosh" is dedicated to the memory of Ron Leibman, who died on December 6, 2019 from pneumonia before this episode aired.
The season begins with Archer waking up from his coma, returning to the real world of his career as a spy.[4] As dysfunctional as ever, Archer finds it hard to adjust to a world that doesn't need him, while the rest of the ISIS team, now called "The Agency", find their lives and dynamics thrown into chaos by Archer's return. Cyril is a competent and muscular field agent, Cheryl/Carol is remarkably stable and an efficient secretary, Ray excels as the group's jack-of-all-trades, Krieger's mad science finally has a stable outlet, and Malory is finally the eager spymaster she always wanted to be. Lana, as competent as ever, has married a wealthy philanthropist named Robert and has sent her daughter, AJ, to boarding school in Switzerland.
The setting is once again New York, following the seventh season (the last season before Archer's coma) which took place in Los Angeles.
