Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.

Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

President Curtis receives a major update.

President Curtis is an upcoming adult animated science fiction comedy series. The Rick and Morty spinoff follows the titular character and his team as they tackle strange threats ranging from interdimensional invasions to paranormal events and other unexplained phenomena. The show will also reportedly feature actors from the flagship show, such as Ian Cardoni (Rick Sanchez) and Harry Belden (Morty Smith) in its first episode.

It was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that the series has already been renewed for a second season ahead of its debut. And, to add to the joyful news, it was also announced that President Curtis season 2 is already in production. The animated series stars Keith David as President Andre Curtis. The show will air its first episode on Sunday, July 26, 2026, at 11:30 PM ET and 8:30 PM PT, directly after the Rick and Morty season 9 finale on Adult Swim.

The panel featured David and his fellow cast members, Stephanie Beatriz (Banks) and Jim Rash (Special Agent O'Doyle). They were joined by President Curtis co-creators and executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano. Set within the world of Rick and Morty, the series follows the adventures of the president. The character has been in several episodes of the original show after he was introduced in the season 2 episode, "Get Schwifty."

Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen explained in a statement that the network has a lot of confidence and faith in President Curtis. He also praised the series' creative team and David's performance. Although it hasn't premiered yet, Ouweleen expressed his excitement about the project and believes that audiences will love the upcoming series.

The series was first confirmed at last year's San Diego Comic-Con during a Rick and Morty panel. Harmon said that President Curtis was created to be its own entity and to stand on its own instead of just being an extension of the flagship show. He explained that the creative team approached it as more of a companion show than anything else.

President Curtis will premiere on July 26, 2026, at 11:30 PM ET and 8:30 PM PT on Adult Swim.
