“President Curtis has always been a blast to play,” Keith shared in a statement. “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.”
The upcoming series is co-created by Rick & Morty executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano.
“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,” they shared in a joint statement. “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.”
President Curtis will follow 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,” Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, said. “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.”
Also set to star in the forthcoming series are Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash.
Last fall, it was announced that Rick & Morty was renewed for two more seasons!
