âJane The Virgin’ Gave Latinas One Of TV’s First Lovable Main Characters And I’m So Grateful For It
For four straight seasons, the dramatic and hilarious cast of “Jane the Virgin” has entertained and kept us on the edge of our streets. In the best of episodes, we’ve laughed, fell in love, cried and felt the warmth of our Latinidad. Now, with the final episode of the series being officially fought, there’s no denying Jane fans will get to feel those feels all the way to the max.
On Wednesday, the cast of the show revealed that “Jane The Virgin” officially filmed its final episode.
And things got PREtty emotional y’all.
There were tons of love letters to cast friends in the form of goodbye Instagram posts.
And so many tears!!
Like so much looooveee!
Which makes me wonder if Yael and Justin get together in the series???
And of course, Gina had a bunch to say that brought so many of us to tears.
So many great memories brought to us by this lively soul who helped to give life to a Latina character we sorely needed over the past few years!
Still, through all of the tears remember there’s tons to look forward to!
In the upcoming season, set to air sometime this year, weâll be introduced to new characters, new love triangles, more cameos, and more Latinx women in the directorâs chair. Here’s what else we know…
1. “13 Reasons Why” Star Tommy Dorfman will be joining the final season of JTV.
According to The Wrap, Tommy Dorfman from the Netflix original â13 Reasons Whyâ will be joining the cast of âJane the Virgin.â And heâs taking on a completely different role. Dorfman will play Bobby, âan associate of the showâs recurring drug-lord character Sin Rostro.â We canât wait to see what trouble he brings to Miami.
2. Michael Cordero is coming back.
Yup, heâs back from the dead. As a Rafael Solano stan, thatâs all you need to know.
3. Gina Rodriguez will be directing the premiere episode.
Back in season four, Gina directed her first episode of the series “Chapter Seventy-Four” and of course, it turned out one of the best episodes of the season. Now, sheâs back in the directorâs chair for the showâs final season.
4. Another Latina will also have a directorial role.
Like Gina, Eva Longoria has also sat in the directorâs chair for JTV before. She had such great success that she is coming back for more.
5. Get ready for more love triangle dramatics.
As we mentioned, Michael Cordero has suddenly reappeared. Wasnât he dead? But with Sin Rostro still in the equation somehow, who knows where he could have been. So now that heâs back in the picturee â right when Rafael was about to possibly propose to Jane â you can expect some drama. Who will Jane choose? How will this change things between her and Rafael?
6. We might have to wait until 2019.
Ideally, JTV would have already been close to airing for its upcoming season this fall. But now, according to the CW network via Cosmopolitan, we might have to wait until January 2019. Let the countdown begin.
7. The person J.R. shot in the finale of Season 4 is someone Petra knows⊠WHAT?
So if youâre all caught up and remember that crazy season finale, youâll remember that it also ended with a gunshot. J.R. shot someone in Petraâs hotel room, and it might be someone Petra knows. But who the heck could it possibly be?
8. Weâll finally find out who the narrator is.
Itâs so exciting to learn that weâll finally know the face behind JTVâs iconic narrator. According to Jennie Snyder Urman, weâll find out who the narrator is before the show ends AND she also says there have been hints sprinkled here and there throughout the series. So, donât cancel out any of your theories.
9. Ricky Martin might make a cameo.
According to an interview for The New York Times with the showâs creator Jennie Snyder Urman, we might get a Ricky Martin cameo. âWe also have a Ricky Martin dream in our writersâ room. Rogelioâs alluded to a little bit of a history with Ricky Martin, and Iâd love to see if we could get him on.â PLEASE DO.
