Didn't they cut Chris out or something like that? As in he didn't have anything to do with production?

Is this a new actress?

I love it when they cast unknowns for roles like these. I have high hopes.

she's been acting since she was a kid, I remember her from ned's declassified

J.lo had the perfect shape for Selena. This girl needed to eat a few Debbie cakes Selena’s butt and thighs were iconic! but maybe her performance will shock me

She’s TOO skinny. I get that she’s half-Mexican and they wanted to get that right this time around - but they sacrificed representing her actual body for it. Why couldn’t the actress just gain some weight, damn.

I can't wait!

J-Lo will definitely be throwing shade when the good reviews come in.


I doubt it when her version is classic and still gets played on tv. Jlo had Selena body this girl doesn’t. Jlo may not look like Selena but she did her best. You can’t take that from her and the other actors that was in the movie.

I'm trying to figure out what is so different about this new series than what we've already seen in the film? The same exact camera shots in this trailer were done in the film. The same exact dialogue. Literally word-for-word.

I'm still pissed that Chris isn't involved because I would have loved for them to go into her married life more than they did in the film. With him not being involved... that isn't even possible because how would Abraham know what their home life was like? When it was just Selena and Chris? Their life away from touring and performing? If Abraham goes into their home life in this series, I feel like it would be made up and that rubs me the wrong way.

Selena was more than just a daughter, sister and performer. She was also a WIFE.

Some young folks are obsessed remaking things, This show will never get the hype as the movie, The young folks just need to watch the movie and call it a day.

omg the actress look just like her! :cry:

They’ve done ALOT of editing in post production because that’s not how she looked in the initial trailer

All of this. There’s nothing that this series can possibly expand on in a desirable way that wasn’t touched on in the movie. This is another selfish Quintanilla money grab; they blocked Chris from making a miniseries about he and Selena’s relationship from dating to marriage just to turn around and pitch this series to Netflix. Like you said, something focused on their relationship would’ve been interesting to watch because that’s one aspect of her life the movie didn’t really explore: Selena the wife. I’ll definitely be passing on this when it comes on Netflix.

Related, did y’all hear that the cholo from the movie with the iconic “Anything for Selenaaaas” line passed away?

Chris should be involved being that was his WIFE, and he loved her so much.. Is Abrahmam still after all of these years hating on Chris and Selena's relationship? Or is something else going on?

I really liked Selena, but I am so over her family (especially her dad) profiting off her death. Enough already.

I don't understand the point of this series either. I don't know if they're going to expand on other things the movie had to cut out, be they major or minor. But I'm with you in that what would've made me jump instantly on board is seeing Chris's take on his life with Selena. That's something Selena fans are thirsting for. It's a side folks didn't get to see.

From her movements in the trailer it looks like she might have captured Selena's vibe. I'll check it out because I love Selena but I prefer having Chris do his own project with Selena.

And Abraham looks creepier and creepier the more he harps on his unwarranted hatred of Chris.

Do y'all know why they're so anti-chris?? It would be really great if they delved more into their love story in the movie. Is it b/c he released a book??

This was not needed AT ALL. What are they going to cover that they didn’t already in the movie? So dumb. Abraham stay making money off of her, even in her death.

I bet they took Chris out of the story : unamused: like he doesn’t exist. Or change up the story where they make him a bad guy and made her marry him.

Basically right after she died they had him sign a paper stating he gave away all his rights as her husband. The man was in the middle of grieving and all daddy could see was dollar signs. The movie was made, what one or two years, after she died? They know he has rights and his own stories - so they want to control that narrative. Selena’s dad was always controlling and always saw dollar signs - Chris was always in the way from his pov.

well one thing about her family is that they refuse to let her legacy die... but by this point things like this feel like a cash grab

That’s so trifling. That entire family is trash for treating Selena’s husband that way but it’s not surprising since we know how her father was when she was alive. Trying to run a grown woman’s life smh. She didn’t choose the controlling family she was born into, but she did choose to start her own family with Chris and it’s terrible that even in death, they’re not respecting her or her decisions.

That's so sad. I thought they built a good relationship over the years. Is it that they've never liked him or they just don't want him to profit off of her?

I think it’s both. IIRC he didn’t want him to profit from anything related to Selena after her death, I believe there was even some litigation over the book he published. They never liked him or thought he was good enough but she went ahead and married him anyway, so good old daddy was losing control fast. She was only 23 when she died, still very young but coming into her own - definitely wrestling away from the tight control. What her family fail to realize is that she wasn’t just Selena Quintanilla, she was Selena Quintanilla-Perez, they’ve never honored that.

I'm still going to watch it, even though you're right, it's not needed given she already got a biopic that still gets played to this day. It even covered pieces of Selena and Chris' relationship. Chris released a book, which would have been a great addition to this series because it's from his personal experiences with her. There are many other public figures who could use a limited series biopic. The actor from the classic "Anything for Selenas" scene passed away.
