'Archer: 1999": AI Malory? Robo-Krieger? Rock Monster Pam? Meet This Season's Crew [VIDEO]
With only a week to go before FXX's Archer: 1999 blast-offs with its May 29th premiere, the network is giving fans a first-look behind the scenes with the cast as they discuss the upcoming space-based season.
Returning for its 10th season, Archer: 1999 features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as hard-drinking Captain Sterling Archer; Aisha Tyler as Archer's Co-Captain and short-tempered ex-wife, Lana Kane; Jessica Walter as Archer's mother and ball of energy, Malory Archer; Judy Greer as the eagle-eye fighter pilot, Cheryl/Carol Tunt; Chris Parnell as the attention-seeking First Mate, Cyril Figgis; Amber Nash as the crew's rock monster muscle, Pam Poovey; Adam Reed as the out-of-place-in-space courtesan, Ray Gillette; and Lucky Yates as the synthetic human with questionable morals, Algernop Krieger.

The series writers have been taking full advantage of the "It's all in Archer's head" theme, using it to their advantage to offer diferent takes on the characters, new environments, and unique storyline situations. In the past, Archer and the crew have found themselves in the film noir/dime novel detective-themed Archer: Dreamland. From there, it was a South Pacific world filled with spies, smuggling, and danger in Archer: Danger Island.
Here's a look at the official trailer for Archer: 1999, shining a spotlight on the humorous side of sci-fi films like Alien – with our "special" team (in every sense of the word) of agents breaking beyond the bonds of Earth to spread humanity's message across the universe.
