Archer gets a second season
Archer, the little, bitchy, animated, spy-comedy that could, has been renewed for a second season. One of the creators of the show, Adam Reed, responded to the news: Well, we’re just incredibly stoked about getting another season of Archer. And I think FX has really shown a lot of faith in the show by giving it a chance to grow its audience. The show is doing well on iTunes, and very well on Hulu, so I think you’re right that it’s been in a competitive time slot. And then there’s those pesky Olympics… I’m just now starting to sift through the huge stack of cocktail napkins on which I’ve been scribbling ideas for season two; if I can make out even half of these scrawls, there should be plenty of storylines.
Reed's writing partner Matt Thompson responded to the news in prose:
We are super excited.
Really awesome to make cartoons for a living.
Even better that we get to do it from Atlanta.
We just have no desire to move to LA and make TV.
The time slot was a killer.
Plus we were not paired with anything / didn’t have a lead in.
We were alone on an island.
Plus people loves them some Burn Notice.
The TIVO numbers have been great to us.
Same with HULU.
I think it all rolls in to FX’s thinking on the pick up.
Whatever it was, we are thrilled.
It's exciting to see two such nice guys get a chance in Hollywood. But I do have one question. What is Burn Notice?
