Selena: The Series' Part 2 

Good news for Selena: The Series fans, Netflix is releasing the highly anticipated second instalment of the original drama based on the live and legacy of Latin singer Selena Quintanilla Perez. The first season of the show got mixed reviews, with some fans loving the portrayal of the icon, who became one of the most legendary voices in latin music at the young age of 20, whilst other felt it was a little cheesy. However, back by popular demand. 

The second half of the miniseries will focus on Selena gaining international recognition by becoming a solo artist and solidifying her status as one of the most influential Tejano singers of all time.
