Not long after Disney released their Disney Plus streaming platform, a slew of new shows were available on the streaming service. This included Diary of a Future President, which first premiered in January 2019. While the series did well enough to receive a second season on the platform, it’s now been announced that the series has been canceled. There will not be a third season.
Diary of a Future President creator Ilana Peña made a Twitter post regarding the cancellation. In her post, she took the time to thank both those who watched the series and those who worked on it.
Here’s what she stated:
“We found out that [Diary of a Future President] is not moving forward with a Season 3 at Disney+,” Peña wrote. “Of course, we would love to continue telling this story, but I am filled with so much gratitude for the 2 seasons that we did get to make. Thank you to our unbelievable cast, incredible crew, and passionate fans that made it possible for us to bring the Cañero-Reed family to life (half of which we did during a global pandemic). There’s so much I want to say about how this experience changed me, but Elena would say it better. She said all of it better. I made this show for my younger self, and I hope I made her proud.”

When the first season of the series premiered, it was released on a weekly basis. The following season, which premiered in August 2021, was released all at once to the streaming platform. As a result, fans can currently stream all episodes from the first two seasons on Disney Plus. Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t look like there’s any chance for a third season or revival of any sort.
The series Diary of a Future President starred Tess Romero as young Elena, with executive producer Gina Rodriguez having played the older version of Elena. And it was this older version of the character that had finally been elected president.
