Cable network FX has ordered six episodes of the animated series Archer, a comedy about the employees at an international spy agency.
The show, whose title may change, stars Family Guy actor Jon Benjamin as a suave spy named Sterling Archer, Variety reports. Other cast members include Aisha Tyler as Archer’s girlfriend, Jessica Walter as his mother, Judy Greer as his secretary and Chris Parnell of Saturday Night Live as the agency’s controller.
FX execs say they see the half-hour show as a good fit with its hit comedy series, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
The show, created by writer Adam Reed and Floyd County Productions and produced by FX Productions, is due to premiere in the fall.
