The second season of Diary of a Future President premieres on Disney+ Wednesday, August 18. All ten episodes will be available at once. This is a departure from Disney’s usual style of weekly episodes for scripted television.
Elena Cañero-Reed (Tess Romero) continues her journey and transformation from a young Cuban American into the President of the United States. This season takes place during her 7th grade year.
“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.”
