President Curtis is off and running, picking up where Rick and Morty Season 9 left off. The Keith David-starring spinoff is a couple of episodes in, making itself comfortable as Adult Swim’s headlining Sunday night show. The bonkers sci-fi concepts and raunchy humor from the mothership series remain intact, as does the signature animation style.
If you are looking for some adult animation to carry you into the fall TV season, here is everything you need to know before President Curtis Season 1 Episode 4 drops:
When does President Curtis Season 1 Episode 4 come out?
President Curtis Season 1 Episode 4 will premiere on Adult Swim at 11:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 16. The episode, which is titled Purchase, will have a runtime around 22 minutes. It will be available to stream on HBO Max on Monday, August 17.
As was the case with the past eight seasons of Rick and Morty, President Curtis Season 1 will be 10 episodes long. It won’t be a miniseries, either, since Adult Swim has already renewed the show for Season 2.
(Warning: Spoilers for President Curtis Season 1 Episode 3 and Rick and Morty Season 9 ahead.)
Who will show up this episode?
President Curtis has quickly established its core cast of characters, introducing plenty of fresh faces to surround Curtis himself – the titular character has had the same voice actor since Rick and Morty Season 2. And while the supporting cast has been firmly stuck in the background, there are some recognizable voices rounding out the group. Here is a look at the recurring voice cast, as well as who they are playing:
- Keith David as President Andre Curtis
- Stephanie Beatriz as Roe Banks
- Jim Banksas Special Agent Francis O’Doyle
- Alanna Ubach as Janice
- David Cross as Finch
Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden made cameos as Rick and Morty, respectively, in the pilot. They could show up again later this season, but they probably won’t intrude too much. Kristen Schaal, Adam Pally and John Michael Higgins are among the celebrities who have popped up so far. There are others expected to voice original characters later in the season, from Sam Richardson to Timothy Simons and Gillian Jacobs.
What to expect in President Curtis Season 1 Episode 4
Based on the lookahead to Episode 4, Curtis has to go to a seminar for at-risk youth. He and Banks head up to the White House attic to find George Washington’s wooden throwing stars to impress the kids. O’Doyle joins them just as Banks stumbles upon the original copy of the Louisiana Purchase, which contains a secret clause about staying out of a cave in the Rockies. The episode’s synopsis is as follows:
“After discovering an addendum on the Louisiana Purchase receipt, Curtis and his team must race against old enemies and friends to maintain control of the Louisiana Purchase territory.”
