What all your favourite characters from Selena: The Series looked like in real life.

Twenty-five years after her death, Selena Quintanilla's life is being revisited in Selena: The Series.

The new Netflix series, which premiered earlier this month, follows the life of the singer from her childhood to her record-breaking, Grammy Award-winning career.

The series comes more than two decades after the release of Selena, a movie starring Jennifer Lopez which depicted the Texas-born Tejano singer's life.

Watch the trailer for Netflix's Selena: The Series below. Post continues after video.

Much like the film, Selena: The Series explores Selena Quintanilla's familial relationships, including her marriage to Chris Perez and her relationship with her ambitious manager and father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr.

In fact, the series has been executive-produced by some of Selena's family members.

"Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel great responsibility to do justice to her memory," sister Suzette Quintanilla said in a statement. 

"With this series, viewers will finally get the full history of Selena, our family, and the impact she has had on all of our lives."

From Selena Quintanilla to Chris Perez, here's what each of the characters from Selena: The Series looked like in real life.

Selena Quintanilla was born in Jackson, Texas, on April 16, 1971. Her mother, Marcella Ofelia Quintanilla (née Samora), had Cherokee ancestry, and her father was a Mexican-American former singer named Abraham Quintanilla Jr. 

As the youngest member of the Quintanilla family, Selena began performing alongside her older siblings, A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla, in a band called Selena y Los Dinos, which later expanded to include more members.

As Selena’s star rose, she became known as the "Queen of Tejano Music".

But in 1995, she was fatally shot by Yolanda Saldívar, the president of a Selena fan club, when she was just 23 years old. 

Selena is portrayed in the new series by Christian Serratos. The actress is best known for her roles in The Walking Dead and the Twilight franchise.

"What I find most enduring about Selena is her ability to defy boundaries," the 29-year-old shared on Instagram.

"She paved the way for Latinas and inspired so many to continue in the face of adversity. I will be forever grateful for the memories she has given me, and what she’s done for women like me and my daughter."

"We both started learning Spanish at the same age. We both started singing. Our dads introduced us to music."
