‘Archer 1999:’ The Gang Heads to Space in the Trailer for 10th Season of FXX Comedy (Video)

Animated comedy returns in May

“Archer” is heading into space, well, at least what Sterling Archer thinks space would be like.

FXX released the trailer for the 10th season, which will be titled, “Archer: 1999.” You can give it a look above.

“Archer: 1999” will be the third straight season to be a “coma dream” for H. Jon Benjamin’s Sterling Archer, who was shot at the end of Season 7. The past two seasons have incorporated the characters into a 1947-era noir story (“Dreamland”) and a 1980s-set adventure called “Danger Island.”

Despite the “1999” title, the 10th season will see the gang blast off into the future — and into space.

The new season follows Sterling Archer, Lana Kane, and their crew of acid-tongued misfits onboard the M/V Seamus salvage ship. An important question arises as they explore deep space and try to outsmart giant aliens, intergalactic pirates and vicious bounty hunters: how do they survive each other?

“Archer: 1999” will debut Wednesday, May 29 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FXX.

The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the hard-drinking captain, “Sterling Archer;” Aisha Tyler as Archer’s co-captain and short-tempered ex-wife, “Lana Kane;” Jessica Walter as Archer’s mother and ball of energy, “Malory Archer;” Judy Greer as the eagle-eyed fighter pilot, “Cheryl/Carol Tunt;” Chris Parnell as the attention-seeking first mate, “Cyril Figgis;” Amber Nash as the crew’s rock monster muscle, “Pam Poovey;” Adam Reed as the out-of-place-in-space courtesan, “Ray Gillette;” and Lucky Yates as the synthetic human with questionable morals, “Algernop Krieger.”
