'Archer: 1999": On the Benefits of Not Yelling, 2 Good Looking Heads and CryoFreeze [VIDEO]
We're only a few days away from FXX official launch of Archer: 1999, but that doesn't mean the network's "promo-palooza" looks to be ending any time soon – all meant to get viewers psyched about the gang's upcoming trip across time and space (and genres) ahead of its May 29th return.

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.
You know? Like a disease…
