  • The cast of ‘Selena: The Series,’ which includes Christian Serratos, Ricardo Chavira, Gabriel Chavarria, Seidy Lopez and Noemi Gonzalez, open up to ET’s Deidre Behar about the experience of filming the show. The actors explain why they didn’t spend time with Selena Quintanilla’s parents, Abraham and Marcella Quintanilla, nor her siblings, A.B. and Suzette Quintanilla, to help prepare for their roles. However, the cast did praise series executive producer Suzette for providing the cast with rare materials and spending a fun afternoon together. Seidy, who previously appeared in the 1997 biopic starring Jennifer Lopez, shared the differences between Jennifer’s portrayal of Selena and now Christian’s. The cast also teased what’s to come in part 2 of ‘Selena: The Series,’ which they promise will include a lot more music, live performances and Selena’s romantic relationship with her husband, Chris Perez. ‘Selena: The Series’ starts streaming Dec. 4 on Netflix.

    People have to realize that no one will ever look, sing and be like Selena. That’s why we are so drawn to her so many years later after her death. I like the fact that we are learning more about the family.

Perhaps she and her broadcasting station payed Abraham a generous amount so he wouldn't sue? Wouldn't put it past him to let a company release nonsense spewed from a failing journalist for the money but when Selena's HUSBAND wants to do an honest and faithful series Abraham sees dollar bills he thinks he deserves and takes legal action.
      Abraham and his son are the most scummy people in their family. I feel bad for Selena's mom, she seems like the nicest person left in that web of toxicity, along with Chris who's just a punching bag for the rest of the family.

    Why is everyone so mad about the casting? Y'all do realize no matter who they casted no one will be able to act or look like an exact replica of Selena right? And if you watch Suzette's interview you'll know that she said the same thing. She was okay with them not hanging out with their family. The point of the series was to keep the story going and being able to give every little detail about Selena's life, all the little stories and moments that made the big picture. Y'all just like hating things too much.

      I actually think the parents look more like the real ones than the movie counterparts did.
      Suzette and Ricky look pretty close to how the real ones looked like at the time.
      It's hard to find someone that looks like Selena, Serratos did well and at times looks so much like her. I guess I wish Serratos wasn't so slim in the torso and arms and her eyebrows are a bit too flat and thin but she's definitely selling it with the personality.
      Only issues? Well AB looks waaay too good looking compared to real AB, though I feel like that was on purpose. Chris' actor needs to flatten his hair a lot more and Pete's actor's eyebrows bug me so much, but aside from that they're all pretty nice portrayals.

She was incredibly talented and i feel ashamed for not knowing so before. Im honestly bothered it took a tv show to open my eyes & ears to her. Im 30. Id always heard of her but never followed her story. I had not seen the movie either but ive since gone back and watched it.. Im in awe though. A true icon. I really feel like her purpose has been magnified and will continue to be for future generations to hear her music for the first time. Its up to us to keep her spirit alive here on Earth.

In the movie also made him come off as an air head surfer dude that was like "what ever" "i like it if you like it" with no real thoughts of his own. that's not how he is at all. In the series he lets Selena know he wants to be with her just as much as she wants him. He also confronts Selena about her crappy behavior towards him when she starts giving him the cold shoulder just because she didn't want her dad to find out. Again they gave him his own feelings and thoughts in the series! Loved it

Selena's voice is timeless, but lets not kid ourselves: Selena's body was also kind of her trademark. Remember, she was around before JLO became JLO and before the Kardashians of the world. Selena's thickness, dance moves, voice & sound made was what made her so freaking ICONIC. So yeah, Christian is a letdown.

    *ITS HARD TO MEET THE FAMILY WHEN YOU'RE IN A PANDEMIC*
    And even if you did a Zoom call, its not the same. You cannot get the same factual and body language expressions like you would in person

      A zoom call is better than nothing!! And yes this was done way before the pandemic you know deep down inside these people should have interacted with the family to me is a sign of disrespect bottom line

    besides some of the actors not looking like the actual family I’m glad they started the series from when she was young to when when she gets big so we can get the full version of who Selena was

    the show is really great at grasping the upbringing of the family and who Selena y los Dinos were. We must remember that this show is reminding us of who Selena was as an artist and as a human. A beautiful soul and legend who will never be forgotten. Te Amo Selena 🤍

    I really feel that this series had more details than the movie. I also feel at the ending there was an unspoken message about safety. If you think about it. They didn't do background checks on Yolanda until after they suspected her of embezzling money. When fans came into the house she was ok with it. She was sheltered from suspecting possible danger. The family is too. She was meeting this dangerous person alone. That's how she died. The last scene where suzette was talking to the kids in the classroom about finishing school. I feel like she should have been talking about safety. If selena and her family were more cautious she would be alive today.

    I loved it. I love the Selena movie as well but I'm not comparing the 2. I love that this is such a more in depth view of Selena and her siblings and more of a deeper look into how they were raised.
