Jessica Walter as “Malory Archer”
A career spy comes with a lot of emotional baggage. When that career spans 50 years and was sidetracked by an unplanned pregnancy and the decades of resentment which followed it, the baggage actually needs its own separate train car. And when that train is overloaded with secrets and fueled by every liquor from absinthe to vodka, it’s time to get off the tracks because Malory Archer is coming down the line. As the stern-yet-more-stern spy agency director, Malory is a highly successful woman in a field dominated by men. Any number of whom – including Nikolai Jakov of the KGB and Burt Reynolds of Burt Reynolds – may be Archer’s father.
