Disney+ has released the first-look teaser for the upcoming second season of their coming-of-age comedy series Diary of a Future President, which has now been scheduled to make its return on August 18. The Diary of a Future President Season 2 teaser, which you can check out below, features Elena manifesting her destiny of becoming Orange Bay Middle School’s student representative. However, her glamourous dream gets interrupted when she sees the future version of herself, portrayed by executive producer Gina Rodriguez.
“We are so excited for Season 2 and cannot wait to share this next chapter of Diary with viewers,” creator Ilana Peña said in a statement. “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.”
Rodriguez added, “I’m honored 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 epitomizes our commitment to inclusive storytelling.”
