President Curtis to Debut July 26 as Rick and Morty Spinoff

Creators Dan Harmon and James Siciliano reposition Andre Curtis as a more sympathetic, duty-driven leader to enable grounded, workplace-style sci‑fi.

Overview

  • Adult Swim will air the series at 11:30 p.m. ET on July 26, 2026 and HBO Max will add the episode the next day, giving the show a same-night linear premiere and next-day streaming window.
  • Dan Harmon and James Siciliano say they 'retconned' Andre Curtis to make him less approval-seeking and more morally steady so the show can focus on terrestrial stakes that matter to his office.
  • Keith David returns as Curtis with Stephanie Beatriz voicing Chief of Staff Banks and Jim Rash as Special Agent O’Doyle, who together form a workplace-style team that balances combat, tech and magic.
  • Early episode descriptions include a CIA clash over a moon-landing cover-up, occult rituals at Camp David and a Bermuda Triangle prison, and the Annecy Festival screening included a Rick and Morty cameo to link the series to the original.
  • Adult Swim is using the late-night slot after the Rick and Morty season finale and the Annecy screening to boost visibility, a move that could drive immediate viewership and test demand for more franchise spinoffs.
