Season nine finds our hero, the barely functioning alcoholic seaplane pilot Sterling Archer, resting on a lovely island in the South Pacific circa 1939. While the rest of the world is concerned about the impending Second World War, Archer is only concerned with who’s buying his next drink. Along with his trusty co-pilot Pam, Sterling must navigate quicksand, cannibals, super-intelligent monkeys, poison darts, pirates, and did we mention quicksand?

When he's not busy foiling ecoterrorist threats, tracking down mysterious killers, or having sex in X-ray machines, suave master-spy Sterling Archer has his hands full with bikini-clad ninjas, Swiss nymphomaniacs and paternity suits. Archer searches for the true identity of his father, battles breast cancer and brings a sexy, ex-KGB agent home to meet his domineering mother.

The Figgis Agency presents all new challenges, the most difficult of which might be the move to Los Angeles.

Covert black ops and espionage take a back seat to zany personalities and relationships between secret agents and drones.
