The streaming giant has dropped a new full length trailer for its two-part drama about Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla Perez. 

In the trailer we get a better look into Selena’s teenage years, early career, life on the road, and backstage drama in what is described as a “coming-of-age story following Selena as she chases her dreams, and the heart-wrenching and life-changing sacrifices she and her family make as they navigate the highs and lows of success, loss, love, and music.”

Starring as Selena is Walking Dead actress Christian Serratos, alongside Gabriel Chavarria, Ricardo Chavira, Noemí Gonzalez, and Seidy López. 

This isn’t the first time the singer’s story was brought to life. In 1997 Jennifer Lopez starred as the musical star.

Selena: The Series premieres December 4 on Netflix. You can watch the trailer below.

Dorothy Ghettuba, who leads African originals at Netflix, praised showrunner Kagiso Lediga and the rest of his team for delivering a compelling story that resonated with their audience and explored the complexities and nuances of the African experience.

“The first season of Queen Sono marked the beginning of our journey to introduce the world to exciting stories that are made in Africa. It was an unprecedented representation of a strong female black lead in African television,” said Ghettuba in a statement.

Queen Sono premiered on Netflix on February 28th, and it was met with positive critical reception. It follows the journey of a South African spy who tackles criminal operations while trying to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death. Pearl Thusi plays the titular role, but the cast also includes Vuyo Dabula, Sechaba Morojele, Chi Mhende, and Loyiso Madinga.

Series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin will be joined by their co-stars Sam Waterston, Martin Sheen, June Diane Raphael, Brooklyn Decker, Baron Vaughn and Ethan Embry for the virtual event raising awareness for Meals on Wheels’ COVID-19 Relief Program. 

“While we’re sitting here afraid, unsure and isolated, we wanted to come together and do some good,” creator and episode scribe Marta Kauffman told Deadline.

She continued: “Our cast is all in and super excited. And Netflix and Skydance have been particularly supportive. As far as giving the fans a peek into Season seven, we figured more people would tune in to new content and it would, hopefully, be a draw for fans of Grace and Frankie. The hope is: more eyes, more money raised for Meals on Wheels.”

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the streamer has axed two of its three IDW-produced drama series — V-Wars and October Faction. Both titles ran for one season only. They launched on the service December 5 and January 23, respectively.

The vampire drama, V-Wars, was based on Jonathan Maberry’s bestselling book and starred Ian Somerhalder, while October Faction starred J.C. MacKenzie and Tamara Taylor. 

V-Wars and October Faction are the latest one-and-done hits at Netflix, joining recently canceled series including Messiah, AJ and the Queen, Spinning Out, Soundtrack and Daybreak, and others.

Series star Wil Traval revealed the news that the streaming giant has opted not to renew the series on Instagram Thursday.

“It’s a very sad day today,” he wrote. “I have just received news from Netflix that there will be no season 2 of #messiah I wanted to say to all the fans thank you for your support and love. I wish things were different.”

The series followed a CIA officer Eva Geller (Michelle Monaghan) investigates a man — referred to by some as Al-Masih (Mehdi Dehbi) — attracting international attention and followers through acts of public disruption. Messiah also starred Tomer Sisley, John Ortiz, Stefania LaVie Owen, Sayyid El Alami, Jane Adams, Melinda Page Hamilton, Traval, Fares Landoulsi, Dermot Mulroney, and Beau Bridges.

According to Collider, the story revolves around four children who are convinced they’d be better off raising themselves. They hatch a plan to send their selfish parents on a dangerous vacation, so they can finally have the freedom they so desire. Their plans go awry, however, when a nanny unexpectedly shows up.

Fans of the animated show will have a bittersweet experience watching the premiere as this will be the last season of the series.

The show, which premiered in November 2018, follows the titular She-ra and her friends on their quest to save their world, Etheria.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show’s creator Noelle Stevenson said that “It has been such an incredible journey so far just getting to share these seasons that are already out and seeing the reactions.”

According to Stevenson, the total number of episodes was known from the start and the story was tailored accordingly. “I’m very happy with where we got to with this story. I’m really excited for people to see it. I hope they’ll be as happy as I am,” she added.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power stars Aimee Carrero, Karen Fukuhara, AJ Michalka, Marcus Scribner, Reshma Shetty, Lorraine Toussaint, Keston John, Lauren Ash, Christine Woods, Genesis Rodriguez, Jordan Fisher, Vella Lovell, Merit Leighton, Sandra Oh, Krystal Joy Brown and Jacob Tobia. Most of them are due to return to the last season.

The official Netflix announcement stated that “We estimate that this will reduce Netflix traffic on European networks by around 25% while also ensuring a good quality service for our members.”

In his call, made earlier this week, Breton urged Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to limit the streaming quality to SD (standard definition) due to the increasing demand as many people are working from home, using video chats to stay in touch with their loved ones and increasingly watching more streamed content.

“Streaming platforms, telecom operators and users, we all have a joint responsibility to take steps to ensure the smooth functioning of the internet during the battle against the virus propagation,” Breton said in his statement.

The limitations will be held for 30 days and will be applied, as for now, only in the European market.

Youtube has also joined Netflix and will set SD as the default quality for its European users. However, users will still be able to manually switch the quality to HD.

In an Instagram post, the show’s five cast members confirmed this by posting a picture showing them in front of a sign saying “Queer Eye, the most fabulous thing in Texas since chaps.”

The picture was captioned: “Grab a Texas-sized box of tissues y’all because the Fab Five just arrived in the Lone Star State to film Queer Eye season six! (oh and P.S. Queer Eye season five is coming real soon).”

The show sees the five giving a complete life makeover to its participants, and it is considered a great success, especially in the LGBT+ community. It is a reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, aired in the beginning of the 00s. The reboot hit Netflix in 2018 and garnered critical acclaim and a cult following. The fifth season was shot in Philadelphia and is supposed to be released this summer.
