All ten glorious episodes of Diary of a Future President are now streaming on Disney+ and if you haven’t watched them yet, you’re really missing out on a series jam-packed with wholesome, sweet fun and so much heart.
DOAFP is a multi-generational story of a Cuban-American family that tackles very real and very relatable storylines for kids, teenagers and adults alike. The characters feel current, the dialogue is witty and sincere, and the casting is diverse, including LGBTQ+ representation. DOAFP basically has all of the ingredients for a perfect coming-of-age dramedy series fit for 2020.
The future President Elena Cañero-Reed is played by Tess Romero, who perfectly plays her confident, opinionated and often nerdy character. Newcomer Charlie Bushnell takes on the role of Elena’s older brother Bobby, whose exploratory story arc is unquestionably one of the highlights of the entire season.
Elena and Bobby’s loving and quirky mother Gabi is portrayed by Selenis Leyva (Orange Is the New Black). DOAFP was created by Ilana Peña and executive produced by Gina Rodriguez, who also plays the adult Elena and directed the pilot episode.
Rounding out the cast are Carmina Garay, Sean Glasgow, Nathan Arenas, Tiernan Jones, Jessica Marie Garcia, Harmeet Pandey, Jazzy Jade, Kyan Zielinski, Travis Burnett, Michael Weaver, Brandon Severs, and Chiara D'Ambrosio.
