Netflix will release original series “Selena: The Series,” about late Tejano pop singer Selena Quintanilla, on Dec. 4. The SVOD pioneer made the announcement on social media.
Quintanilla was shot and killed on March 31, 1995, by Yolanda Saldivar, manager of Selena’s boutiques and fan club, who allegedly had been embezzling money and was confronted by the singer.
