The Rick and Morty universe is expanding with President Curtis, set to premiere on Adult Swim on July 26. In an exclusive interview with Deadline, the show's creators Dan Harmon and James Siciliano explained how these two wild animated series are connected. Dan Harmon described the difference between them as being similar to "Doctor Who and The X-Files."

Although President Curtis takes place in the familiar universe of Rick and Morty, it offers its own unique atmosphere and story. Harmon notes that this new series will provide viewers with a different experience. The absurd humor and creative storytelling style of both shows draw in audiences. However, President Curtis aims to establish an independent identity with its own characters and plot.

James Siciliano emphasized that President Curtis contains both entertaining and thought-provoking elements. He stated that viewers will encounter scenes in this new series that will make them laugh as well as provoke deep thoughts. This development stands out as an exciting prospect for Rick and Morty fans.

There is curiosity about how the new series will be influenced by the popularity of Rick and Morty. However, the creators hope that President Curtis will stand on its own, offering viewers a different perspective. This will allow for the exploration of new stories and characters alongside the expansion of the Rick and Morty universe.
