"Adam Reed, Matt Thompson, and Floyd County continue to make one of the funniest shows on television and it's great to see them earn the awards and acclaim that comes with one of the most loyal and avid fan bases in the industry," he continued.

Archer was expected to move onto FXX starting with Season 7 however, plans were scrapped and the series remained on FX. Season 8 is scheduled to premiere in the spring.

In June, Archer was renewed for three more eight-episode seasons that creator Reed has stated will wrap up the series with Season 10.
