Comedy Central gets Archer!
Comedy Central continues to build on its animated pipeline, as the network has announced the off-network acquisition of FX’s hit animated series Archer. The deal is set to go in place in May of 2015 and will include all current seasons and all future seasons of Archer to air on Comedy Central. According toDeadline:
For the first two years, Comedy Central will have exclusive window pre-midnight, while FXX has exclusivity post-midnight. After that there will be no exclusive windowing parameters.
FX recently picked up Archer for two more seasons, and for Comedy Central this deal follows the recent pickup of Moonbeam City which stars Rob Lowe and is also due to air next year.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
