Telemundo announced they are developing a biographic series based on the life of Selena Quintanilla. The basis of the television show is the book "El Secreto de Selena," written by acclaimed journalist María Celeste Arrarás. A trailer for a demo of the series has been leaked online and viewers have been able to see what the show may look like. Telenovela actress Marlene Favela portrays the television host, while Alejandra Ley plays Yolanda Saldivar. Watch the preview below and tell us what you think!

"El Secreto de Selena," a series based on the life of Selena Quintanilla. The source material for the show is the bestselling book by Emmy Award-winning journalist María Celeste Arrarás, about the tragic death of beloved Queen of Tejano. There is no doubt that Yolanda Saldívar pulled the trigger on the superstar, but does anyone know what really happened moments before the crime took place? "El Secreto de Selena" pulls together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March of 1995.

Suzette Quintanilla has slammed the intentions of the series. . “Your book is based on a whole bunch of lies,” she said via Instagram Stories. “Your source is a person who killed, cold-heartedly murdered, my sister, shot her in the back and left her to die.”

At the time of the announcement of the production the "Al Rojo Vivo" host said: "El Secreto de Selena is the revealing story behind her tragic death. It is a story very different from the official one that was told immediately after her murder. It turns out in the months before her death, Selena wasn't as happy as many thought. She was living through a tumultuous time in her life, surrounded by people who loved her but also wanted to manipulate her. This true story of our beloved Selena has all of the ingredients of a telenovela: lies, love, betrayal, suspense and a lot more. It is a controversial story, but it is also a real story that is handled with the utmost respect for her memory. I have no doubt that just as the book became a bestseller, the production of this series will break audience records."
