Archer‘s 14th and final season had just premiered the night before on FXX when on Aug. 31 all Disney cable networks, as well as the ABC owned-and-operated stations, went dark on Charter’s Spectrum cable system. Ten days and one new episode of Archer later, the bitter carriage dispute was resolved but FXX was not restored on Spectrum.
That is because, in exchange for getting wide distribution for its ad-supported Disney+ service, Disney made a concession on the linear side. Eight cable networks, including FXX, FXM, Freeform, Disney Junior, Disney XD and Nat Geo Wild, are being dropped from Spectrum, the No.2 cable operator in the U.S. with 14.7 million customers, with each net losing close to 20% of their reach.
While a significant portion of viewing for FX-branded programming comes from streamer Hulu, I hear FX brass are looking for ways to make the final season of Archer available to loyal fans of the show who have watched it on linear through Spectrum. A decision is expected soon as the next episode drops this Wednesday. The flagship FX network remains on Spectrum, so it is possible for the final batch of episodes to be made available there or through a VOD on the cable system or other means.
The situation is less pressing for FXX’s other flagship original series, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, which recently aired its 16th season, with the next season at least a year away. (The veteran comedy has been renewed through Season 18.)
For YA-focused Freeform, digital consumption on Hulu by its young constituency dwarfs linear viewing, so no additional linear accommodations are expected for Freeform originals like grown-ish, which recently wrapped Part.1 of its final season, and Good Trouble, which is also inbetween

All good things must come to an end, and after a two-year wait, Netflix‘s “Sex Education” returns for its fourth and final season.

With “Succession” over, HBO has an opening for its next premier drama. There are couple of candidates for the slot already, like “The Last Of Us” and “The White Lotus.” But if “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong had cut the show’s final season in two, as he considered doing at one point, HBO wouldn’t have a gap to fill at all.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director In the introduction for the upcoming book “Succession: Season Four: The Complete Scripts” (via Vulture), series creator Jesse Armstrong reveals a debate occurred on how to end the Emmy-winning HBO drama. The team could write one final season consisting of 10 episodes (the show’s first two seasons had that episode count, while Season 3 consisted of nine episodes), or follow in the footsteps of “The Sopranos” and “Breaking Bad” by having an increased episode count and splitting up the final season into two parts.
There is a new way for fans of Archer who have Spectrum cable but not Hulu to watch the FXX animated series’ 14th and final season. The Emmy-winning comedy has expanded the availability of its current 14th season by making episodes available post-premiere on VOD systems for the FX and FXX linear channels.
