Netflix’s ‘Selena: The Series’ Lands Premiere Date

With many adaptions of the phenomenal life of Selena, one of the best-selling Latin musical artists of the 90s in the past, Netflix is dedicating a whole series to her life, and it now has a premiere date. Set to premiere December 4 and split into two parts, the first half will consist of six one-hour-long episodes and will follow Selena and her family as they face “heart-wrenching and life-changing choices” that they must handle as they navigate through the music industry.

With The Walking Dead‘s Christian Serratos at the helm playing Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, the cast also consists of Gabriel Chavarria (East Los High) as Selena’s older brother A.B. Quintanilla, Noemi Gonzalez (The Young and the Restless) as Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla, Ricardo Chavira (Desperate Housewives) as Selena’s father Abraham Quintanilla, Seidy Lopez (Training Day) as Selena’s mother Marcella Quintanilla, and Madison Taylor Baez as a young Selena.
