List of Archer episodes

Archer is an American animated comedy series created by Adam Reed for the FX network. The first four seasons are set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and surround suave master spy Sterling Archer as he deals with global espionage; a domineering, late middle-aged mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane; and accountant Cyril Figgis.^[1]

The fifth season, titled Archer Vice, follows Archer and his entourage as they resort to drug dealing, having been caught by the FBI operating an illegal espionage operation in the seasons' opening. The sixth season chronicles the group working as contract hires for the CIA until they commit the ultimate screw-up. Out of work, the ISIS ensemble moves to Los Angeles and pursues private investigation work at the Figgis Agency in the seventh season. This concludes with Archer being shot, which sets the plot for the following seasons (8–10) in which he is in a coma. In seasons 11–14, the show returns to its original spy-agency format.

The fourteenth and final season premiered on August 30, 2023^[2] and ended with a three-part series finale titled Archer: Into the Cold, which aired on December 17, 2023.^[3] During the course of the series, 145 episodes of Archer aired over fourteen seasons between September 17, 2009 and December 17, 2023.
