OlderGina Rodriguez Dishes On 'Jane The Virgin' Spin-off
Gina Rodriguez wears a vintage inspired green dress for the Jane the Virgin panel during the 2019 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour at The Langham Huntington Hotel on Thursday (January 31) in Pasadena, Calif.
The actress and producer, along with showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman, opened up about the recently announced spin-off of the show.
Titled Jane the Novela, the new series was described as a telenovela anthology series where each season is based on a different fictional novel “written by” Jane Villanueva (Rodriguez) and narrated by the author herself.
The first installment takes place at a Napa Valley Vineyard, where family secrets (and family members) don’t stay buried for long.
While fans are excited for the spin-off, don’t expect to see your fave Jane the Virgin characters in the first season.
“Once we get a year where we establish new characters, then we can see what comes… I love [the Jane the Virgin] cast I’d be lucky to work with every single one of them again and I really hope to,” Jennie shared.
Gina added that the spin-off is “fantastic. The pilot is unbelievable. We hope we can give something just as great as we did with Jane the Virgin.”
