“Selena y Los Dinos” will be screened in January as part of the U.S. Documentary Competition, 30 years after Yolanda Salidvar killed the Tejano music icon.

Saldivar is serving a life sentence, but could she be released early?

In the words of the Queen of Tejano herself -- “we never thought we’d get this far but we’re here.”Netflix officially dropped the full “Selena: The Series” trailer on Monday and fans are excited. The series will air Dec. 4 on the streaming platform and actress Christian Serratos plays Selena Quintanilla Perez whose life was tragically cut short on March 31, 1995, in Corpus Christi. Selena, just 23-years-old, was murdered by Yolanda Saldivar, the founder of the Selena fan club. Selena was born on April 16, 1971, in Lake Jackson, near Houston, and became the first Latino singer to debut at No. According to Netflix, “'Selena: The Series' explores her journey from singing small gigs to becoming the most successful female Latin artist of all time — and the years of hard work and sacrifice the Quintanilla family navigated together.”The comments on the YouTube trailer were overwhelmingly positive.

The special, created by a group of journalists across the newsroom, doesn’t recap the story of Selena Quintanilla Perez’s death but instead celebrates her life and showcases her legacy that has inspired so many.

SAN ANTONIO – In the past 25 years, Chris Perez says he has grown a lot. “I’m constantly learning and I’m happy,” Perez, the widower of Queen of Tejano music Selena Quintanilla Perez, said in an interview with KSAT. While the Tejano music world grieved her death, the loss hit Perez even harder because two days later, April 2, would have been Chris and Selena’s third wedding anniversary. He said he’s amazed — but not surprised — how Selena’s legacy has grown 25 years later. It means so much and I want to stay on this ride with everybody.”Find more of our Selena coverage here.
