Dmax Acquires FX Animated Comedy Archer

In 2011, DMAX, a UK television channel, acquired the broadcast rights to the American animated comedy series Archer.

Created by Adam Reed, Archer premiered on FX in the United States in 2009 and quickly garnered a dedicated following for its sharp humor and distinctive animation style. The series follows the exploits of Sterling Archer, a suave and egocentric secret agent, and his colleagues at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS).

The ensemble cast features voice talents such as H. Jon Benjamin as Archer, Jessica Walter as his domineering mother and boss, Malory Archer, and Aisha Tyler as fellow agent Lana Kane.

DMAX’s acquisition of Archer allowed UK audiences to experience the show’s unique blend of espionage-themed comedy and character driven storytelling. The series is known for its witty dialogue, complex character relationships, and satirical take on spy genre conventions.

Over its run, Archer has received critical acclaim, including several awards and nominations, and has developed a loyal fanbase both in the U.S. and internationally.

For viewers interested in exploring Archer, the series is available for streaming on platforms such as Hulu in the United States. The show’s enduring popularity speaks to its clever writing and memorable characters, making it a standout in the realm of adult animated comedies.
