Diary of a Future President[3] is an American comedy-drama television series created by Ilana Peña for Disney+.[3] Gina Rodriguez serves as an executive producer through her company I Can & I Will Productions, which produces the series in association with CBS Studios.

Told through a collection of voice-overs by central character Elena as she reads from her diary, the series centers on the 13-year-old Cuban American girl, who attends middle school as she aspires to be a future president of the United States. The series stars Tess Romero, Charlie Bushnell, Selenis Leyva and Michael Weaver. Rodriguez also appears through flashforwards as the adult version of Elena, as she serves as President of the United States.

The first season premiered on January 17, 2020. In May 2020, the series was renewed for a second season,[4] which premiered on August 18, 2021, with all ten episodes.[5] In December 2021, the series was canceled after two seasons.[6]

The series was removed from Disney+ on May 26, 2023, amidst a Disney+ and Hulu content removal purge as part of a broader cost cutting initiative under Disney CEO Bob Iger.[7]
