Netflix’s ‘Selena: The Series’ debuts in December (trailer)

Part one of the two-part series premieres December 4 on the streamer

Netflix announced today Selena: The Series, a coming-of-age story following Selena Quintanilla as she chases her dreams, and the heart-wrenching and life-changing sacrifices she and her family make as they navigate the highs and lows of success, loss, love, and music.

Before she became the Queen of Tejano Music, Selena Quintanilla was a young girl from Texas with big dreams and an even bigger voice. The two-part coming-of-age drama Selena: The Series explores the once-in-a-generation performer’s journey as a young artist, from singing small gigs in Corpus Christi with her family to becoming one of the most successful Latin artists of all time — and the years of grit and sacrifice the Quintanilla family navigated together before Selena’s meteoric rise to fame.

From executive producers Jaime Dávila, Rico Martinez, Hiromi Kamata, Suzette Quintanilla, Simran A. Singh and Moises Zamora, Selena: The Series was created by Zamora, with Don Todd (This Is Us) consulting, and stars Christian Serratos, Gabriel Chavarria, Ricardo Chavira, Noemí González, and Seidy López.
