SDCC 2022: The full series of Rick and Morty spinoff, The Vindicators 2 is here for you to enjoy!
The news broke at Adult Swim’s SDCC panel and even had David make a surprise appearance.
The show will be produced by Rick and Morty’s Dan Harmon and James Siciliano and will also star Twisted Metal’s Stephanie Beatriz and Community’s Jim Rash.
Tidbit:
Rick & Morty recently saw Man of Steel director Zack Snyder meet Superman director James Gunn in the Warner Bros cafeteria, giving him advice on how Superman punches… great that these guys can have more fun with it all than the many of the fans can.
David said: “I can’t wait for fans to see what kind of chaos he [President Curtis] stirs up when Rick isn’t around to steal the spotlight.”
The show’s official synopsis reads:
President Curtis’ follows the Commander-in-Chief and his eccentric staff as they tackle the kind of crises that Rick Sanchez could never be bothered with – from interdimensional diplomacy to paranormal investigations and unexplained phenomena.

“President Curtis has always been one of our favorite characters to write — he’s the only person in the multiverse who can go toe-to-toe with Rick and still hold office,” Harmon and Siciliano said, “Now we finally get to go on sci-fi missions from Curtis’ point of view. And with Keith David leading the charge, it’s going to be a wild ride.”
No word on when the show will air yet, but we will keep you posted.

He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
