Production

The season originally contained eight episodes, featuring Natalie Dew as a new main cast member, Zara Kahn, appearing in seven episodes of the initially eight-episode season, credited as a special guest star. Two days after the final episode of the season aired, a three-part series finale titled Archer: Into the Cold was announced, which aired on December 17, 2023, with Dew, Christian Slater (as Slater), Dave Willis (as Barry Dylan), and Ona Grauer (as Katya Kazanova) promoted to the main cast. [2] On that date of the finale, series executive producer Casey Willis confirmed the series had been cancelled, with the character of Zara Khan having been introduced with plans for a three-season arc, stating that they "did not have a good handle on how we should go out. And we did not have that much time to figure it out", with Into the Cold having been quickly produced after production on the fourteenth season had ended as a makeshift series finale, considered separate from the fourteenth season itself.
