Selena Gomez Has a New Netflix Project — and This Is the Story Behind It

Selena Gomez has a new show with Netflix! But, wait, don't get excited about seeing her on your screen, because this time her role is behind the scenes.

You might remember, as a hard-core Selenator, that back in October 2015, the singer and actress announced she would be producing a miniseries for the streaming service based on the book 13 Reasons Why. The details back then were minimal, but now we have a premiere date of March 31, a trailer, and even details on how the project came about.

In an Instagram post, Selena said it was all her mom, Mandy. "This was the day I was nervous as hell going into @Netflix for the first time to talk about @13reasonswhy," she said below the photo above. "My mom found this book in 2009 and worked her ass off to make it with me, guide me, and tell this story authentically (the only reason, beside Jay this project was even made)." The day before, Selena shared the trailer, calling the show her "passion project." We can't wait to see it!
