Headlined by Emmy ^® Award-winning actor Keith David, President Curtis will debut July 26 at 11:30pm ET/PT on Adult Swim, immediately following the Rick and Morty season finale. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on HBO Max.

The announcement was made today during the President Curtis world premiere screening at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival by co-creators and Rick and Morty Executive Producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano.

“There’s no better animation‑loving crowd than Annecy, which makes it the perfect place to debut this new series,” said Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim. “We can’t wait for everyone to see how great President Curtis is on his own when the series premieres next month!”

Set in the Rick and Morty universe, President Curtis stars David alongside Stephanie Beatriz (Twisted Metal) and Jim Rash (Community). The series follows President Andre Curtis (David) 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.

Adult Swim also debuted the official trailer for the series today. WATCH HERE.

Harmon and Siciliano also serve as executive producers on President Curtis with Danielle Uhlarik, Monica Mitchell and Steve Levy.
