Jennifer Lopez Reuniting With Selena Director For New Tv Project

The filmmaker and his former leading lady are developing a show called California, which will follow the members of eight generations of a fictional Latin family and their journey over 200 years, living through Spanish and Mexican rule before the land became part of the United States, reports Deadline.com.

Lopez will co-produce through her Nuyorican Productions banner.

Nava gave the superstar her first big movie break when he cast her as singer/songwriter Selena in the 1997 film. The pair reteamed in 2006 for crime drama Bordertown.
