(CNN)The story of late Tejano singer Selena is coming to Netflix.
The streaming service on Tuesday announced an in-the-works scripted series based on the life of the beloved music star, whose full name was Selena Quintanilla.
Netflix described "Selena: The Series" as a coming-of-age story that follows Quintanilla as "her dreams come true and all the heart-wrenching and life-changing choices she and her family have to make as they navigate success, family and music."
Quintanilla's family has been involved with the show's development and will serve as executive producers, Netflix said.
Quintanilla, who won a Grammy in 1994, was fatally shot in 1995 by her fan club president. She was 23.
At the time, she had been poised for major crossover success.
Her fifth and final album, "Dreaming of You," which had both English and Spanish-language songs, was released posthumously and debuted at the top of the Billboard 200.
Texas-born singer Selena Quintanilla Perez had found success singing in Spanish and was about to release her first English-language album when she was killed in 1995.
