Pickup announced during San Diego Comic-Con panel; animated comedy set in the ‘Rick and Morty’ universe and starring Keith David debuts July 26.
President Curtis, the upcoming animated comedy set in the Rick and Morty universe and starring Emmy Award-winning actor Keith David, has been picked up for a second season. Adult Swim announced the renewal today during the series’ San Diego Comic-Con panel, which featured David alongside co-stars Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash, and co-creators and executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano.
The renewal comes ahead of the series premiere this Sunday, July 26, on Adult Swim, immediately following the Rick and Morty season finale. Episodes will stream the next day on HBO Max. Season 2 will continue the adventures of President Curtis and his team as they confront new cryptid threats, unexpected allies, and increasingly bizarre sci-fi missions.
“President Curtis quickly proved himself worthy of another term!” said Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim. “With Keith David’s inimitably endearing performance and the creativity of Dan, James and the entire show team, this series and this President are what the people need more of - even if they don’t know it yet.”
The series follows President Andre Curtis and his eccentric staff as they tackle the kinds of crises that Rick Sanchez could never be bothered with, from interdimensional diplomacy to paranormal investigations and unexplained phenomena.
Harmon and Siciliano also serve as executive producers on President Curtis with Danielle Uhlarik, Monica Mitchell and Steve Levy.
