Selena Gomez has joined Aaron Kaplan and Freeform, otherwise known as ABC Family, to create a drama series described as a Latina Empire. According to Deadline, the show is set in a low income Latino neighborhood and is told through the eyes of an 18-year-old girl destined for greatness.
The untitled drama, which is currently in development, is based on experiences of Los Angeles high school senior, Ana Cobarrubias. She is also a consultant on the project.
Kaplan got the inspiration last November at The Zimmer Children’s Museum when he was fascinated by Cobarrubias’ speech. The speech was about making a difference in her East LA neighborhood and her determination to defy society’s expectations for a young woman in a poor neighborhood.
The show will be co-produced by Freeform and Universal Cable Productions.
Kaplan is also working on the Freeform comedy starring Nicki Minaj.
