With the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic causing entertainment production to shut down, FX announced the premiere of Archer Season 11 will not happen on May 6 as planned.
The acclaimed animated show has become the latest series to push its premiere date. Since the Hollywood shutdown, many productions, including live-action and animated, have been placed in jeopardy as they face scheduling and production issues.
"Due to production challenges and scheduling issues, season 11 of FXX’s Emmy award-winning animated comedy series Archer will no longer premiere on May 6th," FX Networks said in a statement. "FX will shift the premiere date to later this year."
Before the premiere was pushed back, Season 11 was scheduled to be a return to form as the titular super spy dealt with life after awakening from a three-year coma. The previous three seasons were revealed to be a series of dream sequences occurring in 1940s Los Angeles, the 1930s South Seas and the far-flung future in space.
Produced by Adam Reed, Matt Thompson and Casey Willis of Floyd County Productions, Archer features the voices of Reed, H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Judy Greer, Chris Parnell, Amber Nash, and Lucky Yates. A new premiere date has not been announced for Season 11.
