Rick and Morty Spinoff 'President Curtis' Drops Trailer, Sets July Premiere

The Rick and Morty universe is expanding! Adult Swim just dropped a surprise trailer for the highly anticipated spinoff series, "President Curtis," with a premiere date locked for July 26th. The news, unveiled at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, confirms fan-favorite Keith David will reprise his role as President Andre Curtis, tackling interdimensional crises Rick Sanchez couldn't be bothered with.

This isn't just more Rick and Morty. Series co-creators Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, alongside Adult Swim's Michael Ouweleen, emphasize a distinct tone. Ouweleen teased that viewers will be "surprised how different" it is. Forget Rick's god-tier tech; this is a workplace comedy focused on President Curtis's eccentric staff navigating paranormal investigations and high-stakes diplomacy. Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash also join the cast.

Keith David expressed his excitement, eager to "explore his world more deeply" and unleash "chaos when Rick isn't around to steal the spotlight." Harmon and Siciliano agree, calling Curtis the "only person in the multiverse who can go toe-to-toe with Rick and still hold office." Ouweleen even stated Adult Swim would have greenlit the show "even if it didn't have anything at all to do with Rick and Morty," a bold claim for a spinoff. This standalone vision promises a fresh, character-driven sci-fi comedy within a familiar universe.
