Archer Season 6 Release Date And Episode One Spoilers Adam Reed, John Benjamin, And Aisha Tyler Talk New About End Of Vice, Returning To "Normal" [PHOTO]

"Archer" season 6 is in the works, with a release date sometime early in 2015, probably January. Here is everything currently known about the upcoming season. 

Creator Adam Reed, recently did an interview with The Daily Beast, and had the following to say on the new season. 

"Archer is going to end up taking baby A.J. and the toddler Seamus on a covert mission for hilarity to ensue-trying to break into the CIA, but he's got these two babies in tow. That will probably happen somewhere in the middle of the season."

Speaking on where else Archer and the gang can possibly go, Reed said, "The human body, Marlow! Fantastic Voyage is what I'm thinking. Our epic finale this season could take place within the bloodstream of a nuclear scientist. We have some new characters coming in, too. We're going to meet Pam's sister, who will be voiced by Allison Tolman from Fargo, and a couple of others but nobody's signed a contract yet so I don't want to jinx it-but we've got some great guest stars this season. And Barry the Cyborg will be back. Jakov, however, is dead."

Talking about Malory, he said, "Yeah. She got back with Ron, then they broke up, then they got back together and had an open marriage for a while, but I think some old flames will definitely come for Malory, who will struggle with the decision she made to get married."

Speaking on Kenny Logins he said, "I think they contacted us. He might share an agent with one of our actors and they said, "Kenny thinks all that stuff is hilarious, and if you'd ever like for him to be on the show, he'd be into that." So we wrote an episode all about Kenny Loggins. He was great, and had a really good sense of humor about it. "

Speaking on the production process Reed said, "From start to finish, an episode takes five weeks. I turn in a script every three weeks, and I start April 1 and then we go to air in January, so I'm on Episode 6 right now. After I turn in a script, everybody at work gets it, and the character designers start designing what the characters will be wearing, or what they're going to look like, and the storyboard artists start boarding it out while the background painters are painting new backgrounds. While that's going on, we start recording everybody, and then our editor does an entire radio play with not just the dialogue, but sound effects, gunfights, and a rough pass at the music. And then the boards get put to that. But the main thing for us is that the audio cut should be the best thing you can possibly do, because it can only get better from there. We say it should be something you could listen to in the car and always enjoy."

They even screened the first episode, according to Spinoff Online, (all following quotes from them) who were at the event," The episode opens with Archer, groggy from a night of hardcore drinking, awakened by the ring of a Zach Morris-like brick phone in a seedy tropical motel room with a bottle of cobra whisky on the nightstand and a newly pierced ear. His mother Malory is on the phone with information regarding a CIA freelance mission involving the retrieval of an American spy plane from the jungles of Borneo.

Archer gets dumped into the jungle, where he encounters a Japanese soldier from WWII, as the rest of the staff tours their new offices. As it happens, the $10 million ISIS headquarters renovation coordinated by Cheryl and Cyrus results in exactly the same office they had prior to Season 5′s explosion. Exactly.

Despite his best attempts, Archer completes his mission and returns to the newly refurbished headquarters only to be harassed by both Malory and Lana. And in another reveal from the premiere, Krieger got himself a secret hot tub."

After the screening, all of the key Archer contributors assembled for the panel: actors H. Jon Benjamin (Archer), Aisha Tyler (Lana), Chris Parnell (Cyril), Judy Greer (Cheryl), Amber Nash (Pam) and Lucky Yates (Krieger); creator Adam Reed and co-executive producer Casey Willis.

Asked what year the show take place in, Yates responded, "All of the cool ones."

When asked what their favorite aspect of the 'Archer Vice' season was, each of the panelists shared a different answer:

Yates said "Building a submarine in an indoor pool, somehow. Krieger is so fucking resourceful." Nash saud, "Mine was the tit bondage. Titty twister? What was it called?" Greer said "Well, obviously the country music sensation. There's nothing better than that. Parnell said "Being a dictator?" When prodded to explain what exactly he liked about it, he joked, "I guess I've personally always wanted to do that kind of thing. I did a lot of research and took a lot of time to get into that part. I went to a neighborhood in Los Angeles and sort of took over. I was a pretty benevolent dictator. Tyler said "Having a baby without an epidural in a filthy, Third World airport that had been abandoned recently and was being shot at by drug dealers and dictator's minions. I also liked when I was breastfeeding Abijean and she held up her finger at me. I was like 'Aw. I just made a tiny, little bitch baby!'" Benjamin said, "Didn't watch it. No fucking interest. Willis said,  "I think my favorite was the cool guest stars we had like Gary Cole, Fred Armisen and Christian Slater.

Reed said, "I really liked the episode where they were on the raft in Columbia and then set the raft on fire through sheer idiocy. And I always love exploring Archer's neurotic fear of reptiles." Asked if he could do that regularly, Reed responded, "We could give him a job at a reptile farm."

Yates said, "I think you just wrote an Archer episode," adding that the credit would read, "'Story by man in the Batman shirt.' You win. You just won Comic-Con!"

"Archer" season 6 will come sometime in January 2015. Check back for more information as we get closer to the release date.
