Selena Gomez to Produce New TV Series Based on Sixteen Candles

Actress-singer Selena Gomez is reportedly in talks to create a Latinx-inspired comedy television show based on the iconic teenage movie, Sixteen Candles.

As per Variety, the Rare Beauty founder is set to work alongside Gabriela Revilla Lugo and Tanya Saracho to produce ‘15 Candles’ which “will follow four young Latinas in high school, navigating feelings of invisibility while exploring what it means to leave childhood behind as quinceañera season approaches.”

According to Billboard News, although Gomez is slated to play a major part in the production of the comedy series serving as an executive producer, this is not her first venture into the realm of television. She previously produced the Netflix adaptation of 13 Reasons Why and is currently both starring in and producing Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building for which she was recently nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy Series at the 2022 Critics’ Choice Awards.
