Gomez to Executive Produce Drama Based On Her Own Life for Lifetime

It appears art will soon imitate Selena Gomez’s life…

The 23-year-old half-Mexican American actress/singer will executive produce a scripted drama inspired by her own life experiences for Lifetime.

The project is among the highest-profile entries on the network’s development slate.

Search is underway for a writer to pen the untitled Gomez project, which draws from the young actress’ experience navigating a career in Hollywood as seen through the eyes of her friends who quickly become her most trusted inner circle.

The drama draws parallels to the HBO comedy Entourage, inspired by executive producer Mark Wahlberg’s life as a young Hollywood actor surrounded by his close friends.

Gomez has been ramping up her portfolio as a producer. She is also executive producing Netflix’s upcoming series 13 Reasons Why, which has set Tom McCarthy to direct the first two episodes, as well as a Latina Empire-themed drama in development at Freeform.
