‘Archer’ Repeats Are Coming (Phrasing!) To Comedy Central

Archer is already on Netflix Instant, Hulu Plus, iTunes, and Amazon, not to mention airings on FX. But here’s some good news for people who want to watch “Stage Two” but don’t feel like walking across the room to turn on the Xbox: Archer is also coming to Comedy Central.

Comedy Central, the off-network home of Sunny In Philadelphia, has inked a deal with Twentieth Television for the off-network rights to Archer, basic cable’s second-highest-rated comedy among adults 18-49 and No.1 on FX. The deal covers all existing seasons and includes commitments for future seasons of the spy toon, which will begin airing on Comedy Central beginning as soon as May 2015. For the first two years, Comedy Central will have exclusive window pre-midnight, while FXX has exclusivity post-midnight.

The dream of mid-afternoon repeats of Futurama to South Park to Archer, with a mandatory viewing of Hot Rod somewhere in the middle (it is Comedy Central after all), is alive.
