Returning: Diary of a Future President

Season 2 of Diary of a Future President begins on Disney+ in mid-August with all ten episodes availabl.

The coming-of-age story follows Cuban-American Elena through the ups and downs of middle school, on her path to becoming the President of the United States.

Created by showrunner Ilana Peña (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) said, “We are so excited for season 2 and cannot wait to share this next chapter of Diary with viewers. This season, Elena will inch closer to the bright future we know she achieves, but like any origin story, her journey is not without its hurdles and heartaches. She and her family and friends will all continue to grow up and come into their own this year. I promise you’ll laugh, I’m pretty sure you’ll cry, and most of all, I hope this season is as meaningful to watch as it was for all of us to make.”

Executive producer Gina Rodriguez (Jane the Virgin) who directs the first episode and also stars as grown-up Elena added, “I’m honoured and grateful to be able to return to this series for a season two. I love that this heartfelt show celebrates a Latinx family and epitomises our commitment to inclusive storytelling.”

Recurring cast includes Jessica Marie Garcia as Gabi’s colleague Camila, Carmina Garay as Elena’s BFF Sasha, Sanai Victoria as Elena’s classmate Melissa, Harmeet Pandey as Elena’s friend Jessica, as well as Brandon Severs and Nathan Arenas as Bobby’s friends Liam and Danny.
