Telemundo to produce Jenni Rivera bio-musical series

Telemundo and the Jenni Rivera estate will produce a number of projects based on the late Mexican singer's life.

The exclusive agreement between the broadcaster and Jenni Rivera Entreprises includes multiple tribute concerts starting in 2017, a bio-musical television series based on her life and “Jenni Vive” annual specials associated with Jenni's Love Foundation.

Jenni Rivera, who died in a plane crash in 2012, founded Jenni Rivera Enterprises, which today is managed by her children, sister and brother.

In a release, JRE said: "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. 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."
