Selena: The Series will premiere May 4 with
The Walking Dead star Christian Serratos starring as iconic singer Selena Quintanilla.
The second part will follow Quintanilla s life up until her tragic death, when she was fatally shot in 1995, at age 23, by Yolanda Saldívar, the former president of her fan club. The new episodes will also show how the singer learns to handle her newfound success while balancing family and love. The show will also most likely cover the release of Selena s first English-language album in the new season.
Natasha Perez, who plays Saldívar, shared with
Entertainment Weekly that the series is meant to be a celebration of Quintanilla s life. The series isn t about her death, she explained. Yolanda is there to add tension to what s going on, but what s going on is so beautiful because it s an artist finding herself, an artist emerging and finding her place within her family, and society. Everyone was very careful with how it was all handled. Unfortuna
