Netflix's SELENA: THE SERIES Eyes Christian Serratos For Lead Role

Deadline reports that Christian Serratos (The Walking Dead) is in conversations to play the late, great Selena Quintanilla in an upcoming Netflix series about the singer.

Selena: The Series has been called "the official story of Tejano music legend, Selena Quintanilla." It is a coming-of-age story following Selena as her dreams come true and all the heart-wrenching and life-changing choices she and her family have to make as they navigate success, family, and music.
