The new trailer for Selena: The Series showcases legendary star, Selena, on stage, in black and white, with a voiceover of her father and hints of famous songs from the artist.
Selena Quintanilla, who passed away at 23, will be portrayed in a new Netflix series set to premiere in December. This biographical series will be highlighting the life of Selena leading up to her fame in the early 1990's. Audiences will get an insight on the star's rise and how she ended up as an influence for women everywhere.
Selena was a well-known artist across the globe, and she still stands as a figure for the Latinx community. With memorable songs such as, "Como La Flor" and "I Could Fall in Love," Selena has sparked influence, not only on the people of her time, but on today's generation as well.
She popularized the idea of Latinx music, and had a major impact on the unapologetic nature of women's fashion. Selena once said, "Always believe that the impossible is possible."
