The Walking Dead's Christian Serratos Will Reportedly Play Selena in Netflix Series

It looks like Netflix has found its Selena Quintanillafor the upcoming bio-series about the Tejano singer.

The Walking Dead's Christian Serratos will lead the series about the famed songstress, according to Vulture, which reports that Serratos is in negotiations to play Selena for the upcoming scripted series, but a final deal has not been inked yet. The Hollywood Reporter added that the hold up comes from trying to juggle Serratos' Walking Dead filming schedule with the Netflix series, which will reportedly go into production next month. Serratos has played Rosita on the the zombie drama since Season 4.

Selena: The Series will center on how Quintanilla rose to fame and the decisions she and her family made behind the scenes to make her one of the most influential Latin music artists to date and the Queen of Tejano music. Of course, this isn't the first time we've seen Quintanilla's story adapted. Jennifer Lopez's breakout role was in the 1997 film about the singer, which concluded with Selena's untimely death after she was shot by her business manager Yolanda Saldivar in 1995.
