What do you think? Have you seen Diary of a Future President? Are you glad it’s coming back?
I’m so excited for the 2nd season. I watched the 1st season with my 10-year-old daughter. We both love the show and the dynamic relationships and real life scenarios. I wish this series was on TV so it can be viewed by more than Disney + subscribers.
I am glad that the show will come back for the second season. It sounds like a winner.
