Netflix is currently in the process of developing a series inspired by Selena Quintanilla, and it seems like they found its lead. Christian Serratos is in early negotiations to play the legendary singer in this highly-anticipated show, reports Variety.
The Walking Dead fans are very familiar with this actress who made a name for herself by playing the role of Rosita Espinosa on this hit zombie show. She’s also portrayed Angela in the Twilight saga, and starred in movies 96 Minutes and Pop Star.
Serratos’s involvement is yet to be confirmed, but Selena: The Series is coming our way, with or without her. Netflix announced this project back in December, and described it as a “coming-of-age story following Selena as her dreams come true and all the heart-wrenching and life-changing choices she and her family have to make as they navigate success, family, and music.”
Selena Quintanilla was one of the top-selling Latina artists of ‘90s and she earned a nickname “Tejano Madonna” thanks to her unique fashion choices and incredible singing voice. Her life tragically ended at the age of 23, after the former president of her fan club killed her. Quintanilla’s incredible journey was previously portrayed in 1997 movie Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez.
