His name is Archer, Sterling Archer and he's back! It's time to watch Archer season 12 online, even if you're without cable.
The animated spy spoof premieres with two new episodes. Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) is on solid ground after the mind trip he experienced after waking up from his coma. Now, he and his fellow spy operatives are just coming off the triumph of saving the world. Their work is never truly done, however, and Archer season 12 introduces a new antagonist: Fabian Kingsworth, the head of the rival International Intelligence Agency.
Archer season 12 premiere episode airs at 10 p.m. today (Wednesday, August 25) on FXX.
Kingsworth bears quite a resemblance to that other world-famous spy who goes by 007. "People have always compared that. What would happen if Archer met Bond? We kind of wanted that," showrunner Casey Willis told Newsweek.
In the first part of the premiere, titled "Identity Crisis," Archer and the gang just discover their reward for saving the world is five nights in a rat-infested Moldovan hotel. In the second episode, "Lowjacked," the Agency embarks on a team building exercise that doesn't quite get off the ground.
