The life of Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla is coming to the small screen this fall.
Netflix unveiled a new teaser for Selena: The Series on Tuesday while announcing the two-part series Dec. 4 premiere. The black-and-white clip shows Walking Dead star Christian Serratos as Selena in a concert sequence where the song Como la Flor plays.
If you keep practicing, its all gonna pay off. Just watch, Ricardo Chavira, who plays Selenas father, Abraham Quintanilla, says in voiceover. When I see you on that stage, I still see the 6-year-old girl singing in our backyard.
According to press notes, Selena: The Series follows the once-in-a-generation performers journey as a young artist, from singing small gigs in Corpus Christi with her family to becoming one of the most successful Latin artists of all time and the years of grit and sacrifice the Quintanilla family navigated together before Selenas meteoric rise to fame. Created and executive produced by Moiss Zamora, the series also stars Gabriel Chavarria, Noemi Gonzlez and Seidy Lpez.
Once hailed as the Mexican Madonna , Selena remains a major figure in Latinx pop culture 25 years after her death. In 1994, the Texas-born singer became the first Tejano artist to win a Grammy Award for her album Selena Live!
A year later, Yolanda Saldvar , Selenas business partner and president of her fan club, shot and killed the star, who had recently finished work on what was being planned as her crossover album, Dreaming of You.

Released posthumously, Dreaming of You became a global smash. The big-screen biopic Selena hit theaters with Jennifer Lopez in the title role in 1997.
