Curb Your Enthusiasm Returns Yet Again; Archer Returning for Lucky Season 13 on FXX

The Emmy(R) and Golden Globe-winning comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, starring Larry David, returns for its ten-episode, eleventh season Sunday, October 24 (10:40-11:20 p.m. ET/PT), with new episodes airing subsequent Sundays at 10:30 p.m. ET. Originally debuting on HBO in 2001 and presenting 100 episodes to date, Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Seinfeld co-creator David as an over-the-top version of himself in an unsparing but tongue-in-cheek depiction of his fictionalized life. The series also stars Susie Essman (Broad City), Jeff Garlin (The Goldbergs), Cheryl Hines (Suburgatory), J.B. Smoove (Mapleworth Murders), Ted Danson (The Good Place) and Richard Lewis (Anything But Love). The comedy series continues to prove how seemingly trivial details of one's day-to-day life - a cold cup of coffee, a stained shirt, a missing toothbrush - can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events. To keep the narrative spontaneous, the series is shot without a script and cast members are given scene outlines and improvise lines as they go.
Emmy Award-winning animated comedy Archer has been renewed for a 13th season on FXX. The eight-episode new season will be available in 2022 and, like the current 12th season, premiere on FXX and be available to stream the next day on FX on Hulu. Archer continues its current 12th season tonight (Wednesday, September 29) with the seventh episode, "Colt Express." In it, a mysterious stranger and a scavenger hunt helps Archer and the gang get a jump on their enemies. Written by Alison Zeidman. Season 12 concludes next Wednesday (October 6). Over its long run, Archer has racked up numerous awards, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program and four Critics Choice Awards for Best Animated Series.
Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy that follows Sterling Archer as he navigates the changing landscape of the spy world. In the current season, Archer and gang face a new threat: a spy conglomerate known as IIA (International Intelligence Agency). With a limited number of spy jobs up for grabs, can The Agency compete against the soulless vultures of IIA, or will our mom-and-pop spy agency be the next to get swallowed alive? The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as the (former) world's greatest spy, "Sterling Archer;" Aisha Tyler as the spy with marital problems, "Lana Kane;" Jessica Walter as Archer's mother and spymaster, "Malory Archer;" Judy Greer as the loveably crazy office assistant, "Cheryl/Carol Tunt;" Chris Parnell as the top office spy, "Cyril Figgis;" Amber Nash as the positively offensive go-getter, "Pam Poovey;" Adam Reed as the opportunist, "Ray Gillette" and Lucky Yates as the unscrupulous scientist, "Algernop Krieger."
