Archer is a rare kind of show that is so densely and perfectly written that it takes several viewings to even notice all the jokes, let alone get them. The most recent season, "Archer Vice" removed the gang from their anarchonistic Cold War office and made them drug smugglers. "Archer" season 6 will see the team going back to their roots as spies.

According to creator Adam Reed, season 6 will mark a return to (relative) normality for the ISIS gang. "Archer Vice," he said, was viewed from the outset as a fun, outside-the-box year. Recently Reed sat down for an inteview with the Daily Beast, and had a lot to say about the upcoming season. 

"I sort of felt some pressure to shake it up a little bit, but I think that might have been self-applied pressure-especially judging by the initial response, which was, "What the heck is this? I don't want this!" But I thought it would be fun and it was one of those things that snowballed in a meeting where we were laughing and talking about story ideas, and then everyone got really jazzed about it. And then FX was like, "Yeah, that sounds fine." It's a rare, lucky relationship to have. We had a really good time doing it but are happy to be coming back home."

"They went right back to normal. Our first episode will really hang a lantern on everything being reset, and they just go right back to who they were."

However, A.J. won't be ignored, Reed promised. Instead, the baby will encounter the Wee Baby Seamus, whom Archer is paying child support for, even though the baby is Cyril's.

"Seamus will now be a toddler so I'm looking forward to the play date we're going to have between Seamus and baby A.J. and catch up with him, and Seamus is going to look exactly like a 4-year-old Cyril. I think we're even going to grey his temples. Archer will know Cyril's the father but no one is going to believe him-even when they see mini-Cyril... 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."

What else is in store for season 6? Lots of familiar faces and new missions, said Reed. But for characters who have been to jungles, the ocean floor and even space, there had to be a particularly spectacular new locale for the ISIS gang. Luckily, it seems Reed has found an ideal one:

"The human body!... 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."

Adam Reed Told the Daily Beast "I don't know? I guess it's not a natural progression. I worry that people will get bored of the show, so I figure, "Here comes cousin Oliver!" But the baby's not along on every mission. It's like shows where the kid would ostensibly be part of the family, but then you're just like, "Oh, where's our kids? They're over at Joe's house," and they won't be in the rest of the episode.

Speaking 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."

When asked what he would do differnetly about season 5 Reed said, "Probably the overall CIA selling drugs to fund various things. I had hoped that it would be more of a through-line during the season, unbeknownst to the Archer characters, and then I think through just ineptness on my part we didn't explain it 'til the very end. We'd been talking about Freeway Ricky Ross and some of the crazy CIA cocaine stuff from the '80s, and probably didn't execute that as well as I would have liked."

When asked how long he would be doing Archer Reed said, "I'd like to keep doing it 'til they lock the doors and don't let me into the office anymore. It's sort of a dream job, so I'd like to do it for a long, long time. I think someone else will make that decision for me! The bar's going to close at some point but I'll be the drunk guy there being like, "No! One more season!" They'll have to kick me out."
