Archer Season 6 Release Date And Spoilers: Adam Reed, John Benjamin, And Aisha Tyler Talk Season 6 AT Comic Con [PHOTO]

The cast of "Archer" got together at Comic Con and let loose some spoilers for season 6.

The show will being  leaving the vice plotline behind to return to the world of espionage. At least that's what Adam Reed and the others said at Comic-Con.

It should be noted that it doesn't seem like the group is missing a step, even though there is a baby along for the ride.

"We treated Season 5 as a vacation," he said. "We're happy to be home, and we're excited to get back to what we normally do after a fun summer of cocaine." Season 6 will continue to explore Archer's resistance to becoming a better person."

It should also be noted that season five nabbed Archer an Emmy consideration, the first nod since H. Jon Benjamin's outstanding voice performance category. 

Elsewhere we learned that the show will feature another slew of guest appearances, including a return of Christian Slater at his CIA best. The most promising appearance has to go to Alison Tolman, fresh off her breakthrough role in "Fargo." She'll be playing Pam's sister Edie. "They go home for Pam's sister's wedding, and she takes Archer as her date. And then things go...horribly wrong."

Additionally, expect more of everyone's favorite cyborg. Barry's back, said Reed:

"Barry comes back in a big way. And he's gonna be, I think, probably the key villain of the season. But things pretty quickly go really badly also for Barry...physically."

In the screened footage, which was the entire first episode of the upcoming season, the core cast members return to a digitized version of their office, with Lana lugging along her new baby Abbiejean. Meanwhile, Archer, clad in Army fatigues, is busy becoming buddies with a Japanese despot as bombs rain down upon the island they're stranded on. As you might gather from that description, Archer's still fighting hard to stop Lana from turning him into a better, more responsible person.

Christian Slater is confirmed to be returning as the CIA agent Slater, with whom ISIS will be working on missions during season 6. Additionally, Alison Tolman (FX's Fargo) will be stopping in to lend her voice to Pam's sister Edie. No specifics yet on what her involvement in the plot will be, but that casting alone is terrific. We don't know that much else about season 6, but expect Lana's baby to come into contact with the wee baby Seamus, Gary Cole to return as Agent Holly and Pam to get back to her farm roots (likely in the episode which features Tolman).

Archer Season 6 Release Date has yet to be announced, but it is coming sometime in 2015. Check back here for more information.
