Maite Perroni, The Next Selena Quintanilla In Telemundo Series?

One of the most anticipated series on Telemundo next season is "El Secreto de Selena," a bioseries based on the life of Selena Quintanilla. As production starts to gear up to start filming famous names are spurring to give life to the "Queen of Tejano" and one of those names is Maite Perroni. The former RBD star is rumored to being considered for the iconic role that is based on a book by María Celeste Arrarás. Although these are just rumors, they are all being fueled after Perroni started following Telemundo on her Twitter account. Do you think Maite Perroni would be a good choice to be Selena Quintanilla on tv?

"El Secreto de Selena," a series based on the life of Selena Quintanilla. The source material for the show is the bestselling book by Emmy Award-winning journalist María Celeste Arrarás, about the tragic death of beloved Queen of Tejano. There is no doubt that Yolanda Saldívar pulled the trigger on the superstar, but does anyone know what really happened moments before the crime took place? "El Secreto de Selena" pulls together the pieces of this puzzle and depicts what really happened on that rainy day in March of 1995.

Suzette Quintanilla has slammed the intentions of the series. . “Your book is based on a whole bunch of lies,” she said via Instagram Stories. “Your source is a person who killed, cold-heartedly murdered, my sister, shot her in the back and left her to die.”

When the announcement was made, the "Al Rojo Vivo" host shared a message on her social media accounts: "El Secreto de Selena is the revealing story behind her tragic death. It is a story very different from the official one that was told immediately after her murder. It turns out in the months before her death, Selena wasn't as happy as many thought. She was living through a tumultuous time in her life, surrounded by people who loved her but also wanted to manipulate her. This true story of our beloved Selena has all of the ingredients of a telenovela: lies, love, betrayal, suspense and a lot more. It is a controversial story, but it is also a real story that is handled with the utmost respect for her memory. I have no doubt that just as the book became a bestseller, the production of this series will break audience records."

Perroni was last seen on the telenovela "Antes Muerta Que Lichita" where she played Alicia Gutiérrez, a smart, pretty young girl, although she doesn’t know how to cash in her beauty. Talented and with a generous personality, but not very skillful to take advantage of her qualities. She dreams with two things: finding love and being the creative director of Icónika; however, she is never promoted from being an assistant who is ignored by everyone. When she seems to have found the ideal man, not only does he steal her heart but he also steals the position in the company that she dreams with. Tired of being ‘Lichita’, she decides to give her life a twist and recover what belongs to her.
