The world's greatest spy (according to him) is about to have his final mission, as Archer season 14 is set to bring the story of Sterling Archer and the rest of his cohorts to a certainly hilarious close.

The FX animated series has been a fan favorite since it premiered in 2009, seeing Archer take on daring missions as well as the show go through several short-term reinventions, tackling space, a 1950s detective story and more. The show is pretty much back to its roots, but that doesn't mean Archer season 14 is going to be any less fun to watch as one of the final new shows of the summer TV season.

Here is everything you need to know about Archer season 14.

When is the next Archer season 14 episode?

There's one more surprise for Archer fans: a special episode that is going to serve as the official finale for the long-running animated spy comedy, Archer: Into the Cold, that is going to air on Sunday, December 17, at 10 pm ET/PT on FX and FXX.

Before then, you can catch up with all eight episodes of Archer season 14 on Hulu.

All of the latest episodes are then going to be available to stream the next day on Hulu.

Archer season 14 plot

The basic plot of Archer shouldn't change in season 14, as we'll see Archer and the rest of the team go on daring missions as they try and navigate the changing spy world. But one of the big storylines this season is going to be that Lana is taking over the job as head of their agency. Can she make the world a better place while also making money? Or is running a spy agency not so cut and dry?

Archer season 14 cast
