Netflix Sets Nov. 17 Release for “Selena y Los Dinos” as First Trailer Debuts

The documentary uses intimate family archives to center Selena’s life and creative legacy over the details of her 1995 murder.

Overview

  • Directed by Isabel Castro, the film premiered at Sundance 2025 and later screened at SXSW, Hot Docs, and AFI Fest.
  • It features new interviews with parents Abraham and Marcella Quintanilla, husband Chris Perez, and siblings A.B. and Suzette.
  • The project includes executive production by Michele Anthony with Suzette Quintanilla and A.B. Quintanilla III credited in production roles.
  • Never‑before‑seen home videos and concert footage highlight personal moments, including Selena saying she was tired of constant filming.
  • Festival demand was intense enough that Sundance removed the title from its online platform after attendee‑recorded clips circulated, as online reactions to the trailer now range from praise to criticism over commercialization.
