Telemundo to Produce Jenni Rivera Musical Biopic Series

MIAMI: Telemundo is working with the Jenni Rivera estate to produce a number of projects inspired by the Mexican singer, including an authorized musical series based on her life story.

The exclusive agreement, inked with Jenni Rivera Enterprises (JRE), also includes multiple tribute concerts starting in 2017 and a series of “Jenni Vive” annual specials associated with Jenni’s Love Foundation.

JRE was founded by Rivera herself. Today, it is managed by her children and Rosie Rivera Flores and Juan Rivera, her sister and brother, respectively.

“We are excited to partner with Telemundo and the NBCUniversal family to bring to the world the only official television series based on Jenni’s life,” said Jenni Rivera Enterprises. “Jenni’s extraordinary career, passion for life, and infinite love for her family are a story never before told on television. Telemundo and JRE are dedicated to together growing Jenni’s powerful legacy through this series, the music tribute concerts and other historic projects.”

“We are both proud and humbled that the Rivera family has chosen Telemundo to do the only authorized television series about her life,” said Luis Silberwasser, the president of Telemundo Network. “We look forward to working with Rosie, Juan and the entire family to preserve Jenni’s legacy and bring to our audiences the story of one of the most inspiring and powerful icons of the Hispanic community.”
