Jane the Virgin is wrapping up this year after being on air for 5 seasons.

While it was originally hoped that the telenovela would continue in the form of a spin-off, the series was not picked up by The CW.

Entitled Jane the Telenovela, the show would focus on the characters in Jane’s novel and be narrated by Gina Rodriguez.

The reason it wasn’t ordered to series, according to CW President Mark Pedowitz, is that it “did not have what Jane had. It didn’t have the full quirkiness and fun. We are big fans of [show creator] Jennie Urman and Gina, and we have great appreciation for what they did. In this particular situation, this spinoff didn’t quite get to where we wanted it to get to.”

But Pedowitz is not ruling out a return in the future…

“We’ve reached out to Jennie and said if she wishes, we’re interested in pursuing a potential other spinoff for Jane. It is in Jennie’s court.”

Let’s hold thumbs.

The actress behind Jane the Virgin, Gina Rodriguez, is now a married woman.

On the 4th of May, the 34-year-old walked down the aisle to wed her longtime love, Joe LoCicero.

Eagle-eyed Jane fans may recognize Joe as the Don Quixote stripper, while he has also appeared in Miss Bala and Someone Great — both starring his now-wife.

Gina and Joe began dating in 2016 and got engaged in August 2018.

The couple have now made it official, with the bride confirming the happy news on Instagram.

Sharing a gorgeous video of the big day, Gina quoted her 9-year-old niece who said, “With that one kiss we got 100 new family members,” in reference to the large Puerto Rican and Italian families the bride and groom come from.

“May 4th, 2019 was absolute MAGIC. To my husband Joseph, I am yours forever,” Gina wrote.

Let’s hope Jane gets such a happy ending, too.

On screen, Gina Rodriguez and Justin Baldoni play parents to Mateo Rogelio Villanueva Solano, but in real life they’re just a bunch of kids themselves.

The Jane the Virgin stars recorded themselves singing along to the Pinkfong hit Baby Shark whilst in the car.

Justin, who plays Rafael, is behind the wheel, while Jane herself, Gina, dances along to the infectious song with a combination of gangster signs and disco moves.

The children’s track — which has become the bane of some parents’ lives — tells the story of a baby, mommy, daddy, grandma, and grandpa shark, with Justin and Gina filling their roles perfectly.

The clip is only 38 seconds long, which means we don’t get to see the entire performance of the song, but we hope Mateo enjoyed the full version!

The criminal mastermind was first introduced to audiences in 1985 as part of an educational video game which allowed players to learn about countries which Carmen escaped to.

Ms. Sandiego then found herself with her own animated television show in the 90s and lightning has struck once again as she will return to screens in 2019.

Netflix will be producing the new series which comes out ahead of a live-action film starring Jane the Virgin actress, Gina Rodriguez, as the globetrotting thief.

Gina will also provide the voice for the animated Carmen, with Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things also doing voice work for the series.

The streaming service has now announced that Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego’s 22 episodes will premiere on 18 January 2019.

Despite Hollywood making reforms to become more inclusive of all races, Ellen Pompeo still feels like more needs to be done.

The Grey’s Anatomy actress participated on a panel for Net-a-Porter which also includes Gina Rodriguez of Jane the Virgin, Emma Roberts from American Horror Story, and Being Mary Jane star Gabrielle Union.

“There’s a ton of women in the room, but I don’t see enough color and I didn’t see enough color when I walked in the room today,” Ellen said. “And I had a meeting with a director of another endorsement project that I’m doing. I said, ‘You know when I show up on set I would like to see the crew look like the world that I walk around in every day.’ And I think it’s up to all productions to make sure that your crew looks like the world we see.”

The 49-year-old continued by saying, “As Caucasian people, it’s our job, it’s our task, it’s our responsibility to make sure that we speak up in every single room we walk into, that this is not OK and that we can all do better. It’s our job because we created the problem.”

Clear, Dr. Grey.

You might want to ask Netflix. After spending 4 years dealing with diapers, it appears as though the Jane the Virgin star will be joining the ranks of criminal masterminds (straight out of a telenovela, right?)

The 33-year-old has been selected to play thieving villain, Carmen Sandiego, in a new film for Netflix.

The ringleader of the V.I.L.E. criminal organization first became famous in the ’80s in a mystery exploration game called Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

Having already lent her voice to an animated series reboot of the character that is set to be released next year, Netflix has now confirmed that Gina will also take on the role in live-action form, complete with enormous red hat.

The Golden Globe winner is also set to produce the film through her production company, I Can and I Will.

Let’s hope that she has enough pages in her passport.
