Adult Swim Sets July Premiere for President Curtis Spin-Off

The Rick and Morty supporting character will lead a ten-episode workplace comedy that could seed more franchise series.

Overview

  • Adult Swim unveiled a first-look trailer on Wednesday and confirmed President Curtis will premiere as a ten-episode series on July 26 with episodes streaming on HBO Max the day after.
  • Keith David will reprise the title role and the show’s announced cast also includes Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash.
  • Dan Harmon and James Siciliano are credited as executive producers and Siciliano led a separate creative team on the project.
  • The series is being framed as a character-driven workplace comedy that uses lower-scale technology than Rick and Morty and follows Curtis and his staff through interdimensional diplomacy and paranormal investigations.
  • Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said the network would have greenlit the show as a standalone and suggested supporting characters could themselves spin off into new series, signaling a broader franchise expansion strategy.
