An award-winning documentary detailing the life and legacy of late Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla has finally received a launch date for its Netflix debut: Selena y Los Dinos will be begin streaming on Monday, November 17, the streaming service confirmed in a press release.

The documentary, directed by Isabel Castro, gives an intimate look into the singer's life and delves deeper into the close-knit connections she created with her bandmates, which included siblings A.B. III and Suzette, and Chris Pérez, the band's guitarist who eventually became her husband.

The buzzy film first premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, had its Texas debut at SXSW earlier this year, and also headlined the 2025 CineFestival in San Antonio in July. It won the US Documentary Special Jury Award for Archival Storytelling at the Sundance Film Festival, and snapped up a SXSW Audience Award in the musical story category 24 Beats Per Second.

Castro said in the release that she honored Selena's "extraordinary rise" to fame while showing the unseen side of the singer's life "behind the stage" as a daughter, sister, and wife.

"Through personal archive and intimate interviews with her family, the film reveals new dimensions of her journey that have never been seen before," Castro said.

Even three decades after her death, fans around the world still show an unwavering support for the Queen of Tejano Music. Selena's legacy has been displayed in a popular 1997 biopic starring Jennifer Lopez, a 2020 Netflix series, a national podcast, a Quintanilla family-owned museum in Corpus Christi, and most recently a public photography and fashion exhibi t at Texas State University in San Marcos.

Around Texas, she's inspired everything from Christmas light displays to university courses to shopping bags.

Selena's music also attracts about 9.47 monthly listeners on Spotify.

In May, Deadline reported that Netflix's deal to purchase rights to the film was estimated to be between $6 to $7 million.

Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World

A name known for pizza is debuting a new concept, right here in DFW: Called Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World, it's an entertainment destination for families with young kids from Chuck E. Cheese, the Dallas-based pizza buffet chain, and it will open its very first location in Aarlington, at 1536 W. I-20 off South Cooper Street.

According to a release, it will open on Thursday, November 13.

Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World will be a 12,000-square-foot indoor playground focused entirely on active play. It's designed for kids from 3 to 8 years old, who can climb, slide, and explore multilevel worlds, with references to stock Chuck E. Cheese characters.

Famous for hosting birthday parties and other kid-centric celebrations, Chuck E. Cheese began expanding more seriously into this realm in 2024 by adding Adventure Zones within existing locations featuring trampolines, obstacle courses, and playgrounds.

Unlike those traditional Chuck E. Cheese entertainment centers — which focus on arcade games, pizza, and prizes — Adventure World is about active play and imagination. Parents can join their kids as they explore a three-story play structure, toddler zone, and dance floor — experiences built on physical activity and storytelling.

Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World features include:

· Immersive themes including space, safari, and pirate voyage
· Climbing structures, slides, tubes, mini soccer court, and obstacles
· Kid Check system to ensure kids stay safe and everyone who arrives together leaves together
· Birthday party packages, with special appearances from Chuck E. Cheese
· Interactive dance floor that lights up with every step
· Dynamic video walls and a digital live show featuring Chuck E. and friends
· Pasqually’s Snack Shop serving Chuck E. Cheese pizza, light treats, and drinks
· No height restrictions, so parents can join in the fun

Pricing is designed for families, at $19.99 per child for all-day access, including two free parent admissions per child, making it an affordable and easy day of fun. For a limited time, guests can enjoy a $2 discount per child Monday-Thursday. Birthday parties start at $100 for six kids.

Chuck E. Cheese and CEC Entertainment CEO David McKillips says in a statement that they're excited to open the very first Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World in Arlington, calling it "a colossal new experience unlike anything kids have ever seen."

Chuck E. Cheese Adventure World is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand the brand universe. Several new Adventure World locations are scheduled to open in 2026, bringing the experience to more families nationwide.
