by

The hit show “Rick and Morty” is currently developing a spin-off, and star Keith David has given fans a glimpse into what’s in store for the upcoming “President Curtis” series. During the San Diego Comic-Con 2025 weekend, Adult Swim had an impressive lineup of content to share, with “Rick and Morty” being a major highlight as it was gearing up for its Season 8 finale. However, what came as a surprise was the announcement that this popular franchise would be growing with a new spin-off series focusing on one of Rick Sanchez’s main rivals, who is among the few characters to stand beside him.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, during Rick and Morty’s presentation, it was confirmed that Dan Harmon and James Siciliano were working on a fresh spinoff series titled President Curtis. The original star, Keith David, will reprise his role from the main series in this new venture. On X platform, David shared an exclusive update with fans about the upcoming spinoff, hinting at what we might encounter in the new show while also reminding us of his significant presence as the president in the Rick and Morty universe.

Listen up, fellow Americans! It’s your president here… #PresidentCurtis #RickandMorty #AdultSwim #SDCC

I have intentionally used more informal language to make it sound conversational and engaging. This version retains the essence of the original while making it easier for a broader audience to understand.

Keith David Teases New Rick and Morty Spinoff

Dear fellow Americans, it’s your beloved leader speaking! I’ve got some exciting news – the creators of Adult Swim have given the go-ahead for a fresh animated series titled ‘President Curtis‘, and guess who’s starring? You guessed it! We’re delving into the Oval Office, but not the one you’re accustomed to. I can hardly contain my excitement as I look forward to seeing what fans of Rick and Morty will think about this upcoming series.”

During the panel discussion, David also shared his feelings about returning for the new spinoff: “Playing President Curtis has always been a blast. This new series gives me an opportunity to delve deeper into his world, something I’ve dreamed of. I can hardly wait for fans to witness the chaos he stirs up when Rick isn’t around to take center stage.

Developed by Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, creators of “Rick and Morty,” the new series will see these individuals serving as executive producers alongside Danielle Uhlarik, Monica Mitchell, and Steve Levy. Keith David is set to play President Curtis in the lead role, with Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash taking on currently undisclosed roles. Adult Swim hints at the upcoming “Rick and Morty” spinoff by describing it as follows: “In ‘President Curtis,’ we follow the President and his unusual team as they deal with issues that Rick Sanchez would typically shun – from interdimensional politics to paranormal investigations and mysterious occurrences.

What’s Going on With President Curtis?

The new spinoff series would have been approved regardless of its connection to ‘Rick and Morty,’ according to Michael Ouweleen, Adult Swim’s president. He praises the character President Andre Curtis as so exceptional that the series would shine on its own merits. The additional characters and world developed by the team are also engaging and self-sufficient. They’re eager for you to witness it. Harmon and Siciliano share this enthusiasm in a joint statement about the new series.

Writing for President Curtis has always been a delight – he’s the unique individual across all universes who can match wits with Rick and maintain his position in office. Now, we’re thrilled to embark on science fiction adventures seen through Curtis’ perspective. With Keith David taking the helm, it promises to be an exhilarating journey.”

No release date or timeframe for President Curtis has been disclosed as of yet.
