The series takes viewers from the Grammy-winning singer’s childhood up to her tragic death at 23
After dropping a teaser earlier this month, Netflix has finally released the first full length trailer for “Selena: The Series.”
The series chronicles the dramatic rise of Selena Quintanilla-Perez, a Grammy-winning singer known as the “Queen of Tejano Music,” taking viewers from her childhood up to her tragic death in 1995 at the age of 23, according to CNN.
Christian Serratos, well-known for her role as Rosita Espinosa in “The Walking Dead,” plays the eponymous star of the series. Madison Taylor Baez will play Selena in her childhood.
Netflix describes the series as “Mexican-American Tejano singer Selena (coming) of age and (realizing) her dreams” while “she and her family make tough choices to hold on to love and music.”
“I’d really describe ‘Selena: The Series’ as a culmination of the work that we have put in to build a company that could highlight these types of themes, these types of stories and bring it to a mainstream market,” producer Jaime Dávila recently told the Los Angeles Times. “More than anything, we’re trying to show Hollywood that there’s this huge market of Latinx/Latino people; that our stories are American stories; that our stories are global stories.”
Previously, Jennifer Lopez portrayed the singer in the Oscar-nominated film “Selena,” according to the Los Angeles Times. But according to CNN, the new series will dig deeper into the singer’s family life and the making of her music.
The series, PG-rated, hits Netflix Dec. 4 and will feature nine episodes, according to IMDB.
