President Curtis: Earth's New Supernatural Commander
26 Jul
Summary
- New animated series blends sci-fi with sharp, juvenile humor.
- Features President Curtis battling supernatural threats like vampires.
- Show premieres July 26, airing weekly on Sundays.
"President Curtis," a new animated series from "Rick and Morty" creators Dan Harmon and James Siciliano, premieres July 26 on Adult Swim. The show features Keith David as the titular commander-in-chief, tackling supernatural threats on Earth, including vampires and witches, deviating from "Rick and Morty's" interdimensional focus.
The series introduces President Curtis's aides: cyborg Chief of Staff Banks (Stephanie Beatriz) and Special Agent O'Doyle (Jim Rash), a half-leprechaun. They confront unique challenges, from paranormal investigations to historical artifact recovery, prioritizing supernatural threats over mundane political issues.
While sharing a sensibility with "Rick and Morty," "President Curtis" grounds its narrative on Earth. The show features a divorced president with lingering feelings for his ex-wife, now the governor of Illinois, but primarily serves as a platform for guest stars and elaborate comedic scenarios.
The series airs weekly on Sundays and will be available to stream on HBO Max the following day. It offers a dependable, humor-driven experience for fans of the "Rick and Morty" universe.
