Finally, the life of the iconic grammy-winning Latinx singer, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez is finally getting it's own Netflix series titled "Selena: The Series".

Quintanilla-Pérez, who found global recognition and success within a male-dominated genre called Tejano, was ultimately murdered days before her 24th birthday by the founder of her very own fan club in 1995. The series is set to release on December 4, and is a biographical drama about the late singer's life, legacy, and her rapid rise to fame throughout childhood. The series is said to cast light onto her family’s early struggles and poverty and the hard decisions they had to make as the singer became one of the most beloved Latinx artists we know today.

Serratos will play alongside Madison Taylor Baez as a young Selena, Gabriel Chavarria as her brother A.B. Quintanilla, Seidy Lopez as her mother Marcella Quintanilla, and Noemi Gonzalez as her sister Suzette Quintanilla.
