Real-world politics might not inspire many pleasant thoughts at the moment, but at least our new favorite fictional president is getting another term. At today\u2019s San Diego Comic-Con for the Rick and Morty spinoff<\/a> President Curtis<\/a>, fans learned the show is already in production on season two.<\/p>\n

Or make those prospective fans. President Curtis hasn\u2019t even premiered yet! Its first episode arrives July 26 after the season nine finale of Rick and Morty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having seen all 10 episodes of the first season\u2014read io9\u2019s review here<\/a>!\u2014we feel confident that President Curtis won\u2019t have any problem finding its audience, and the quick renewal certainly speaks to Adult Swim\u2019s enthusiasm for the show. It stars Keith David as the title character, who is no ordinary POTUS.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been shifted a bit<\/a> from the image-conscious blowhard seen on Rick and Morty; on President Curtis, he\u2019s a flawed but fearless guy you definitely want to root for, which is a good thing because his main job is protecting America from all kinds of monsters.<\/p>\n

He has help in this from his support team, which includes Agent O\u2019Doyle (Jim Rash), who happens to be half-leprechaun, and his chief of staff, Banks (Stephanie Beatriz), who happens to have a robot brain.<\/p>\n

The show was co-created by Dan Harmon and James Siciliano.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Curtis quickly proved himself worthy of another term!\u201d Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, said in a press release. \u201cWith Keith David\u2019s 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\u2014even if they don\u2019t know it yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
