Archer continues to be a cornerstone of FXX's adult animated comedies as the platform expanded its programming line-up in September 2021, with the likes of King of the Hill, Bob’s Burgers, and The Simpsons as well as all seasons of Family Guy joining the schedule at FXX. Since these additions, FXX has become one of the go-to locations for animated adult comedies with it now being tied with Adult Swim in the overall cable channel ranking. They are also premiering new animated comedies along with these classics and renewals, with the new animated comedy Little Demon set to premiere on FXX the day after the new season of Archer on Thursday, August 25 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
