During the premiere of Tomorrow Was Beautiful — in which Karol G highlights the impact of Selena Quintanilla on her own career — the Colombian artist was surprised with top-secret news from Netflix. The cat is now out of the bag, as it has been officially announced that a new Selena documentary is coming to Netflix this winter.
Titled Selena y Los Dinos, the documentary — directed by Isabel Castro and executive produced by Suzette and A.B. Quintanilla III — follows the late “Queen of Tejano” and her family band from performing at quinceañeras to selling out stadiums. Her life and legacy is chronicled through never-before-seen footage from the family’s personal archives.
“As a filmmaker, I wanted to honor her extraordinary rise and enduring legacy, while also giving a window into her life behind the stage,” Castro said in a press statement. “Through personal archives and intimate interviews with her family, the film reveals new dimensions of her journey that have never been seen before. I am deeply grateful to her family for their trust and support throughout this journey, and I can’t wait for a global audience to experience the magic, heart and community that Selena gave to all of us.”
Suzette, Selena’s sister and drummer of Los Dinos, added, “We are so excited to finally share that our documentary Selena y Los Dinos is coming to Netflix! Grateful to have a platform that helps bring Selena’s story to fans around the world.”
Selena y Los Dinos was among the 87 feature films and six episodic projects that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. documentary special jury award for archival storytelling. Additionally, it won the audience awards at both SXSW and Miami Film Festival this year.
