Adult Swim has announced a new addition to the “Rick and Morty” universe with the upcoming adult animated comedy series, “President Curtis.” The news was revealed during the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, where fans were treated to a surprise appearance by David, who will be reprising his role as President Andre Curtis.
The series, created by “Rick and Morty” executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, will follow President Curtis and his eccentric staff as they navigate various crises, including interdimensional diplomacy, paranormal investigations, and unexplained phenomena. The show promises to explore a world that Rick Sanchez would never bother with, offering a fresh perspective on the universe.
Joining David in the cast are Stephanie Beatriz (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Jim Rash (“Community”), both known for their work with Harmon in the past. David, who has been actively involved in voice acting, has lent his talents to various projects, including Hulu’s “King of the Hill” revival and Harmon’s Fox series “Krapopolis.” He expressed his excitement for the new series, stating, “President Curtis has always been a blast to play. Getting to explore his world more deeply in this new series is a dream.”
Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen expressed his enthusiasm for “President Curtis,” calling the character of President Andre Curtis so compelling that the series would have been greenlit regardless of its connection to “Rick and Morty.” The creative team behind the show, including Harmon and Siciliano, are eager to delve into Curtis’ perspective on sci-fi missions, promising a wild ride for viewers.
The series is set to expand the “Rick and Morty” universe even further, following in the footsteps of previous spinoffs like “Vindicators 2: Last Stand Between Earth and Doom” and “Rick and Morty: The Anime.” With an intriguing premise and a talented cast and crew on board, “President Curtis” is poised to carve out its own space in the world of adult animation.
Fans can look forward to more chaos and adventure when “President Curtis” premieres, offering a fresh take on the beloved universe created by Harmon and Siciliano. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series as it prepares to make its mark on Adult Swim.
