Rick and Morty’s spin-off, President Curtis, is coming next month, putting the legendary Keith David front and centre as the Commander-in-Chief, reprising his role from the main series.
“President Curtis has always been a blast to play,” said David, “Getting to explore his world more deeply in this new series is a dream. I can’t wait for fans to see what kind of chaos he stirs up when Rick isn’t around to steal the spotlight.”
“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.

“This is a series we would have greenlit even if it didn’t have anything at all to do with ‘Rick and Morty,’” said Michael Ouweleen, president, Adult Swim.
“President Andre Curtis is just that good of a character. The rest of the world the team has fleshed out is super fun and totally stands on its own. We can’t wait for you to see it.”
“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,” said Harmon and Siciliano.
“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.”
In the forthcoming Adult Swim series co-created by “Rick and Morty” Executive Producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, David will reprise his longtime role as President Andre Curtis. Stephanie Beatriz (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Jim Rash (“Community”) also star.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. 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….
