Adult Swim has just dropped a first-look trailer for its latest offering, President Curtis. This new series is a spin-off from the ever-popular Rick and Morty, focusing on the long-time U.S. President, voiced by the esteemed Keith David. Fans will remember President Curtis as a recurring character tangled in the chaotic escapades of Rick and Morty. Now, he’s stepping into the limelight as he tackles an array of bizarre crises.
The trailer teases a series of wild escapades, from interdimensional diplomacy to tackling paranormal phenomena. These adventures promise to deliver the same level of witty and unpredictable humor that Rick and Morty fans adore. Alongside Keith David, the show features Stephanie Beatriz, known for Twisted Metal, and Jim Rash of Community, as the President’s diligent assistants.
“President Curtis has always been a blast to play. Getting to explore his world more deeply in this new series is a dream. I can’t wait for fans to see what kind of chaos he stirs up when Rick isn’t around to steal the spotlight.”
The series was officially announced during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con during the Rick and Morty panel, where the excitement was palpable. Keith David expressed his delight about diving deeper into President Curtis's world, sharing how much he’s enjoyed portraying this character.
Co-creators Dan Harmon and James Siciliano are thrilled about the series, describing Curtis as “one of our favorite characters.” They expressed their eagerness to explore sci-fi missions from his perspective, emphasizing that Curtis is the only one who can match wits with Rick and still manage to hold office. With David at the helm, this series promises to be an exhilarating addition to the Rick and Morty universe.
While waiting for President Curtis to premiere, fans can catch up on Rick & Morty seasons 1-7 on Netflix, with season 8 currently airing on Channel 4.
