FX Animated Comedy Series "Archer" Records Its Most-Watched Season
Ever
Season 3 Posts Significant Double-Digit Gains vs. Season 2 In Every
Category
Season 3 Finale Is the Most-Watched Episode of Archer Ever
LOS ANGELES, April 10, 2012 -- FX's critically acclaimed animated
comedy series Archer has officially graduated from cult hit to cable
hit. With lines like "I'm looking for a terrorist and an ocelot," how
could it not? Season three of Archer recorded its highest viewership
ever, posting significant double-digit increases across all demos
versus season two.
On a weekly multi-run basis, Archer averaged 3.19 million Total
Viewers, 2.43 million Adults 18-49 and 1.54 million Adults 18-34. This
was Archer's most-watched regular season ever across every key demo,
with growth ranging from +24% to +56% over its prior season. On a
first-run basis, Archer averaged 1.9 million Total Viewers, 1.49
million Adults 18-49 and 976,000 Adults 18-34 marking gains of +24%,
+37% and +54% in those categories respectively compared to Season 2
averages. (all Live+7 data)
On a Live+7 basis, Archer's Season 3 finale was the series'
most-watched telecast ever in Total Viewers (2.12 million), Adults
18-49 (1.72 million), and Adults 18-34 (1.13 million).
Last month, FX ordered 13 episodes for Archer's fourth season.
Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that revolves around the
International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) and the lives of its
employees. Although their work of espionage, reconnaissance missions,
wiretapping and undercover surveillance is daunting and dangerous,
every covert operation and global crisis is actually just another
excuse for the ISIS staff to undermine, sabotage and betray each other
for personal gain.
The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the highly
skilled and incredibly vain master spy "Sterling Archer"; Aisha Tyler
as Archer's fellow agent and ex-girlfriend "Lana Kane"; Jessica Walter
as Archer's domineering mother and the director of ISIS, "Malory
Archer"; Chris Parnell as the easily intimidated comptroller-turned
ISIS agent "Cyril Figgis"; Judy Greer as Malory's loquacious
secretary, "Cheryl"; Amber Nash as the discordant director of human
resources for ISIS, "Pam Poovey"; Adam Reed as the gay voice of reason
at ISIS, "Ray Gillette"; Lucky Yates as ISIS's possibly mad scientist,
"Krieger"; and George Coe as Archer's elderly and always exploited
butler, "Woodhouse. Archer was created by Adam Reed and Floyd County
Productions and is executive produced by Reed and Matthew Thompson.
The show is produced by FX Productions.
