“Archer” Producer at FX Networks gets Promotion

What does this mean for the animated series?

Jonathan Franks is usually the guy overseeing day-to-day activities for FX original programming which includes the likes of Archer, but as of today, he has been given a promotion to EVP of FX Current Programming and FX Productions.

According to Deadline.com, the move comes as former EVP Nicole Clemens exits and it will see Franks oversee the “development and selling of FXP original series for non-FNG outlets and will have business operation responsibilities for FXP. Additionally, Frank will continue to shepherd day-to-day production for FX Networks’ original programming”(so his Archer duties are still intact).

Archer was picked up earlier this year for three more, albeit shortened, seasons comprising of eight episodes a year to premiere on FXX. Creator Adam Reed says this will be the final run of Archer episodes.
