"Selena: The Series" is coming to Netflix, the streaming service announced today on Twitter.

The two-part series will focus on the life of Latin singing sensation Selena, who was tragically killed in 1995.

The official synopsis: "As Mexican-American Tejano singer Selena comes of age, she must make tough choices to hold on to family, true love and music."

The series was "developed alongside and will be executive produced by The Quintanilla family," according to Netflix.

Selena, whose full name was Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, was one of the best-selling Latin artists of the 1990s. She won a 1994 Grammy for Best Mexican/American Album and was poised to become an even bigger star with a crossover English album. She was shot and killed in 1995 by her friend and president of her fan club, Yolanda Saldívar.

Jennifer Lopez (herself a rising star at the time) played the singer in the 1997 feature film "Selena."

Moisés Zamora (whose credits include the Fox series "Star") will write the script and executive-produce the series.

No one has been announced yet to star.
