Selena Gomez Reacts to Netflix Series About Her “Inspiration” and Namesake Selena Quintanilla
It’s Selena-approved! Selena Gomez popped on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Dec. 8, to give fans her rave review of Netflix’s new show Selena: The Series. In the words of the 28-year-old pop star herself, “It Aint Me”—but it is the icon she’s named after.
“I have been binge-watching the Selena series on Netflix. It’s so good,” Gomez said. “She’s such an inspiration. I was named after her and it’s unbelievable.”
The biographical drama documents the rise of Selena Quintanilla, the Mexican-American musical legend who was shockingly murdered in 1995 at age 23. Starring Christian Serratos, the series has prompted viewers (and us at E! News) to sound off on whether it’s actually bad or actually good
The Wizards of Waverly Place alum announced in April that she’d be joining Steve Martin and Martin Short as a co-star. And after flexing her producing muscle with 13 Reasons Why, she will also executive produce Only Murders in the Building. We’ve already seen her on set in New York, and her vibrant wardrobe is out-of-this-world wonderful.
Gomez gave a little update on Tuesday about the show, saying, “I am on set right now, which is really, really fun.”
The Rare Beauty founder is slated to appear in Hotel Transylvania 4 and In the Shadow of the Mountain in 2021.
