This isn’t the first time there is a biography of Selena on the big screen. In 1997, Jennifer Lopez portrayed her in the movie with the same name: Selena. While the film focuses more on Selena’s career life, the series is focused on her childhood and teenage years.
Though the singer passed away too soon, her legacy will still live on. The series will be premiere on Netflix on December 4.
