A New TV Show Inspired by the Life of Selena Quintanilla Is Coming to ABC
G'head, try to not "heart" this. They say it'll be "packed full of musical numbers."
Selena Quintanilla lives on. Just two months after the late legendary songstress received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, ABC has announced its plans to commemorate the Mexican-American star’s life in a brand new TV show packed full of musical numbers.
Although still untitled, the series is being described as a drama with “strong music-driven elements” and has the full support of the Queen of Tejano’s family: In fact, both her father, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr., and sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga, have signed on as producers of the show.
As the latter said in a statement, “We are excited to come on board as producers on an ABC music-driven, Latino family drama that celebrates Selena’s musical legacy with a lead character whose music and career is inspired by Selena.”
