Archer season 7
season of television series
The seventh season of the animated television series, Archer, created by Adam Reed, aired on FX from March 31 to June 2, 2016. It was originally planned to consist of 13 episodes; however, it was later changed to 10.
Premise
Following the ousting of the ISIS employees from their CIA freelance work, everyone has relocated from New York to Los Angeles. Cyril Figgis, possessing a requisite law degree, has opened a boutique Private Investigation agency (The Cyril Figgis Agency) in Hollywood. Cyril's authority is constantly undermined by everyone, and Mallory continues to assume the primary leadership role.
Though some of the season is episodic, a serial plot line is established early and is ultimately paid off in the two-part finale.
Whether Archer was going to continue beyond season-7 was unknown during the writing process, leading show runner Adam Reed to write a season finale that could have served as a conclusion for the series or a cliffhanger heading into season-8.
In June, 2016, FX announced it had renewed Archer for an additional three seasons, ensuring the show would continue through at least season 10.
Production
The show's seventh season changes its setting from New York City to Los Angeles and follows the main characters as they run a private investigation agency in Hollywood.
While developing the season, the creative team took inspiration from Magnum, P.I. when writing the stories and they also used the series' location switch to change the series from the 1960s-aesthetic of prior seasons forward to 1970s-style, which included new clothing for the main characters.
