Selena has become a powerful icon even after 25 years of her passing.
The Queen of Tejano Music remains to be remembered with her music played out at parties and other places.
With her iconic life, her biography comes with numerous adaptations, including the 1997 biographical musical drama that brings people to tears, and recently a Netflix series depicting her rise to fame, as reported by We Are Mitu.
Aside from these adaptations, her life remains to be foundational to the building of some Latino identities.
After a Netflix biopic, a nine-episode podcast entitled Anything for Selena is set to be released in January 2021. The nine-episode narrative podcast was produced by Futuro Studios and Boston s NPR station WBUR.

December 10, 2020
Netflix has released the first season of “Selena: The Series,” a new show about the life of Selena Quintanilla, the “Queen of Tejano Music” and a beloved Mexican American recording artist. Selena was immortalized after she was murdered in 1995 by the president of her fan club when she was only 23 years old.
The superstar’s life and career were cut tragically short right as she was breaking out to a national audience. She had just released her first English crossover album, which debuted as the first predominantly Spanish-language album to reach the top U.S. Billboard 200.
