In an interview with Uproxx, Archer producer Matt Thompson said that this season's change of setting was a pretty expensive move. "Watch any cartoon that’s on TV. I’ll just use The Simpsons, for example. It’s all the same. You’re in their house. You’re in their living room. They’re wearing those same clothes and that’s done that way for a reason.

And it’s not the most cost effective thing to do in the world. But it makes it interesting."
