At San Diego Comic-Con 2025 during the Rick and Morty event, the unexpected arrival of Keith David unveiled a fresh spinoff series featuring him as President Curtis. This new show will delve into the adventures of Rick Sanchez’s longtime adversary, with Stephanie Beatriz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Jim Rash from Community joining David in leading roles. Here’s a sneak peek at the upcoming Rick and Morty spinoff, titled President Curtis, as shared by Adult Swim.

What Is President Curtis?

The animated series “President Curtis” is being developed by the creators of “Rick and Morty,” Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, who will also take on executive producer roles. Alongside them, Danielle Uhlarik, Monica Mitchell, and Steve Levy have been announced as executive producers as well. Adult Swim has described the upcoming spinoff as a focus on President Curtis and his unique team, dealing with challenges such as interdimensional politics, paranormal investigations, and mysterious occurrences – issues that Rick Sanchez typically avoids. This new series promises to offer a fresh perspective within the “Rick and Morty” universe.

Keith David expresses his excitement about reprising his role in the upcoming “President Curtis” series, stating that delving deeper into the character’s world is a long-held dream. He can hardly contain his anticipation for fans to witness the mischief President Curtis causes when Rick is not around to outshine him. The spinoff will also feature Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash, although their characters’ roles are currently undisclosed following this initial announcement. However, a first look image provides a hint about who they might portray.

Why Is Rick and Morty Getting a New Spinoff?

Even without any connection to ‘Rick and Morty’, we would have approved this series, stated Michael Ouweleen, president at Adult Swim. The character President Andre Curtis is simply that exceptional, and the rest of the world they’ve developed is incredibly engaging and self-sufficient. We can hardly wait for you to witness it. Given that he’s one of the few characters with the skills and assets to challenge Rick, we expect this will reveal an entirely new aspect of him.

It’s also hinted at by the creators of the spinoff: “President Curtis has always been one of our preferred characters to write, as he’s the only individual in the multiverse who can match wits with Rick and maintain his position,” shared Harmon and Siciliano in a joint statement released by Adult Swim. “Now, we’re thrilled to embark on sci-fi adventures from Curtis’ perspective. With Keith David taking the helm, it promises to be an exhilarating journey.
