Selena's Family Shares Intimate Footage in Emotional Netflix Documentary

In the 30 years since her tragic death, the story of Selena Quintanilla has been told and retold countless times. However, a new Netflix documentary, "Selena y Los Dinos," promises to offer a fresh perspective on the life of the "Queen of Tejano."

Premiering on November 17th, 2025, the documentary provides an intimate look into Selena's life, drawing from a treasure trove of never-before-seen home videos, concert footage, and present-day interviews with her family and former bandmates. Selena's sister, Suzette, who had long kept the family's personal archive at their Q-Productions offices in Corpus Christi, decided to share this footage to give viewers a more personal glimpse into their lives.

The documentary, directed by Emmy-Award winning filmmaker Isabel Castro, follows Selena's rise to fame, from her first-ever recorded performance to her transformation into one of Tejano's biggest stars. Viewers are given a rare opportunity to see Selena in various stages of her life, from a young, frizzy-haired girl trading jabs with her sister to the poised, charismatic performer captivating audiences across the United States and Mexico.

Through these candid moments, a more nuanced portrait of Selena emerges, one that showcases her infectious sense of humor, her determination to succeed in a male-dominated industry, and her grappling with the pressures of her Mexican-American identity. The documentary also explores Selena's relationship with her husband, Chris Perez, and the tensions it created with her family, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of the complexities of her life.

"Selena y Los Dinos" promises to be a must-see for both longtime fans and new generations discovering the legacy of this iconic artist, who continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
