Hot on the heels of the “Rick and Morty” ninth season debut, Adult Swim has premiered the teaser trailer for the spin-off series “President Curtis”.
The title was revealed back in July last year. In the series, Keith David will reprise his longtime role on the show as President Andre Curtis. Stephanie Beatriz (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Jim Rash (“Community”) also star.
The new series 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.
David said in a statement last year: “President Curtis has always been a blast to play. 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.”
Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen says: “This is a series we would have greenlit even if it didn’t have anything at all to do with Rick and Morty. 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.”
Dan Harmon, James Siciliano, Danielle Uhlarik, Monica Mitchell and Steve Levy executive produce.
