"Jane the Virgin" is confirmed to return after its current season. The hit comedy series is one of the seven shows on The CW that have been picked up by the network to return this fall.
The renewal did not come as a surprise for "Jane the Virgin" lead actress Gina Rodriguez, who nabbed a Golden Globe during the first season and continues to be nominated for her excellent portrayal of Jane. The hype that has surrounded the series since its debut season has helped boost its profile and The CW loves being recognized for it, Latin Times reported.
Following the announcement, stars of the series were quick to express their thoughts about the news. On her Instagram, Gina Rodriguez posted a photo of herself and captioned it, "Today is a great day, I can and I will. Third Globe nom and a 4th season renewal. God is good. Our supporters got us here. I am grateful."
Jaime Camil, who plays Jane's dad Rogelio de la Vega, and Yael Grobglas, who plays Petra, also took to social media to share the great news and thank their fans for the unlimited love and support. Grobglas also shared her plan to celebrate by eating boxes of pannettone, a sweet bread loaf popular in Milan.
Other shows that have been renewed for another season are "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" (Season 3), "Arrow" (Season 6), "Supergirl" (Season 3), "Flash" (Season 4), "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" (Season 3), and "Supernatural" (Season 13). The CW said in its official statement that early pickup of the said series would not only allow their producers to plan ahead but would also give them a solid foundation to build on for the next season.
Meanwhile, Gina Rodriguez previously told Access Hollywood that fans should expect some major changes in her character this season. The actress revealed that she was off to Thailand for a muay thai training, in preparation for the transformation that's set to happen in the life of Jane in Season 3. As to what kind of transformation it might be, Gina Rodriguez kept mum.
