'Diary of a Female President': Get the Scoop on Gina Rodriguez's New Disney+ Series

Get excited for Gina Rodriguez‘s brand-new Disney+ series, Diary of a Female President!

The Jane the Virgin and Carmen Sandiego actress – who recently got married – will both executive produce and have a recurring role as the President of the United States, Deadline reports.

She’ll also direct the first episode.

Selenis Leyva and Michael Weaver will star along with young newcomers Tess Romero and Charlie Bushnell.

The series, “told from the narration of her diary, follows 12-year-old Cuban-American Elena (Romero) as she navigates the ups and downs of middle school and begins her journey to become the future president of the United States. Unabashed, semi-dweeby, ultra-observant and with a strong point of view, she walks through the world with purpose and confidence.”

Charlie will play Bobby, Elena’s “sweet-faced but mischievous older brother.” Selenis will play Gabi, their “intelligent and loving mom.” Michael will portray Sam, “a lawyer at Gabi’s firm who is in the beginnings of a relationship with her.”

Gina, meanwhile, will recur as the adult version of Elena, currently on the campaign trail.

“I established my production company as a vehicle to tell stories for and by the underrepresented,” Gina Rodriguez said. “Bringing this story to Disney+ is a dream come true not to mention hope for our future.”

The 10-episoide Diary of a Female President will premiere on Disney’s streaming service in 2020! Production is currently kicking off.
