Famed TV actress and singer Selena Gomez has a brand new project that involves not just acting but producing as well. She will be starring in a new Netflix series called "13 Reasons Why," an adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same title.

Variety confirmed that Gomez will both be a producer and star for the upcoming Netflix series which is in the final stages of negotiations to finally put the series in the works and start filming. The publication further reported that the series was first eyed to be a Universal Pictures film, however, Gomez, including her mother Mandy Teefey and producer Kristel Laiblin, brought the book to Anonymous Content for the TV adaptation.

It has been reported that both Anonymous Content and Paramount TV will be producing the series and will also have Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Brian Yorkey as the series' writer. "13 Reasons Why" is written by Jay Asher in 2007. It is about a high school student named Clay finding out a box full of cassette tapes from his former classmate and crush Hannah.

Each tape apparently contains one reason why Hannah decided to commit suicide including the 12 peers that played a role in her death. This will be the first project that Gomez will be taking on after her reported health condition of having Lupus and undergoing chemotherapy to treat the disease, AFP reports.

In a previous interview with Billboard magazine, Gomez revealed, "I was diagnosed with [autoimmune disease] lupus, and I've been through chemotherapy. That's what my break was really about. I could've had a stroke."

"I wanted so badly to say, 'You guys have no idea. I'm in chemotherapy. You're assholes.' But I was angry I even felt the need to say that. It's awful walking into a restaurant and having the whole room look at you, knowing what they're saying. I locked myself away until I was confident and comfortable again," she added.

While there are still no official statements coming from Gomez herself regarding the latest project, where she will reportedly both produce and star in, the 23-year-old, however, recently released her second solo album "Revival" from her single "Good For You," Variety further reports.

Meanwhile, E! News reports that there is still no official premiere date for the Netflix series but what is confirmed is that Gomez will finally be back in the small screen after acting in her last TV show "The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex" in 2013.

The former child star previously starred in "Barney and Friends" back in 2002 that kicked off her career. Gomez also appeared on the big screen for her film in "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" and was also featured for a voiced role in "Hotel: Transylvania 2" along with Adam Sandler.
