As the gang struggles to find their identity performing odd missions for Fabian, one question arises: will they be able to maintain independence, or will they succumb to their corporate overlords?"

Archer season 14 - Plot and cast explored

The 14-year-long comedy series follows the story of the world's greatest spy, Sterling Archer, and his seven secret agent colleagues who work for a fictional intelligence agency based out of New York named the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). The secret agents apart from the narcissistic protagonist include Malory Archer, Lana Kane, Ray Gillette, Pam Poovey, Cyril Figgis, Cheryl Tunt, and Dr. Algernop Krieger.

In the final season, Lana Kane takes over The Agency after years of shadowing the protagonist whose physique and fitness have evidently taken a hit after all the running around. He is seen to be in denial in the trailer as he is asked to take a back seat when it comes to his missions. The doctor warns in the trailer:

"Look, Archer, you're not the fresh, young agent anymore. Dozens of knife and projectile wounds. Your liver is hanging on by a thread. How many concussions have you had?"

The trailer gives us a sneak peek of what the new way of work may be under Kane's leadership. The Agency is struggling financially as we witness the agents flying coach, and Lana aims to safeguard the planet while also making enough money.

Besides, the show deals with the absence of Archer's mother, Malory, and depicts her son's wishes to live up to her expectations by upholding her legacy. This in a way pays respect to Malory and her memories as well as the void left behind by her and her voice actor, Jessica Walter (2009–2021) in the organization. On the same hand, Archer is still required to be responsible but has already announced himself as a free man.
