Aisha Tyler in Animated Comedy
Aisha Tyler will voice a character in FX's new comedy series tentatively-titled "Archer," a new half-hour animated comedy series from Adam Reed will launch this fall. The project has received a six-episode order. "Archer" is set at ISIS, an international spy agency whose highly trained employees constantly confuse, undermine, betray and royally screw one another.
Voicing the series will be Jon Benjamin as a suave master spy “Sterling Archer,” whose less-than-masculine code name is "Duchess”; Jessica Walter as his domineering mother and boss, “Malory”; Aisha Tyler as his ex-girlfriend, “Agent Lana Kane”; Chris Parnell as ISIS comptroller and Lana’s new love interest, “Cyril Figgis”; and Judy Greer as Malory’s lovesick secretary, “Cheryl.”“This project has been a great surprise for us and we’re excited about adding it to our fall schedule,” said Grad. “Adam Reed has written successful animated series for Adult Swim/Cartoon Network, and he has taken this format and given it a live-action feel. It is a smart, adult comedy and the characters are given voice by a terrific cast. It clearly fits the FX brand and we believe it will find support from the fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
