Jane the Virgin is an American satirical romantic comedy-drama television series developed by Jennie Snyder Urman, that debuted on The CW on October 13, 2014. It is a loose adaptation of the Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen created by Perla Farías. The series stars Gina Rodriguez as Jane Villanueva, a working, religious young Latina virgin, who becomes pregnant after being artificially inseminated by mistake. The program parodies commonly used tropes and devices in Latin telenovelas.

Jane the Virgin has received critical acclaim since its premiere. At the 72nd Golden Globe Awards, Gina Rodriguez won the award for Best Actress – Television Series, Musical or Comedy, while the show was nominated for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. The series also received the Peabody Award and an AFI Award, and was nominated for Critics' Choice Awards as well as TCA Awards.

On January 11, 2015, the show was renewed for a second season.[5] Its second season was set to premiere on October 19, 2015;[6] however the CW moved it forward a week, having premiered on October 12, 2015.[7]

On March 11, 2016, the CW renewed the series for a third season.[8]

Premise

Set in Miami, the series details the surprising and unforeseen events that take place in the life of Jane Villanueva, a hard-working, religious young Venezuelan American woman whose family tradition and a vow to save her virginity until her marriage to her detective boyfriend is shattered when a doctor mistakenly artificially inseminates her during a checkup. To make matters worse, the biological donor is a married man, a former playboy and cancer survivor who is not only the new owner of the hotel where Jane works, but was also her former teenage crush.

Development and production

On June 27, 2013, American television network The CW announced that it was planning to release a new show based on the Venezuelan soap opera Juana La Virgen.[12] On February 23, 2014, Entertainment Weekly announced that Rodriguez would play the title role of Jane Villanueva.[13][14] On May 8, 2014, during The CW's 2014–2015 upfronts, the series was officially picked up.[15] On July 18, 2014, an extended trailer was released by The CW. On August 8, 2014, it was announced that White Collar's Bridget Regan and Azie Tesfai would join the series as respectively Rose, a former lawyer, and Detective Nadine Hansan, a police detective and rival to Dier's character.[16] On August 10, 2014, TVLine announced that Melrose Place and Emily Owens, M.D. actor Michael Rady would join the series as Lachlan.[17] Filming for season one commenced on July 28, 2014.[18] The show is filmed on soundstages in Los Angeles, California[18][19] and the pilot was filmed in Huntington Beach, California.[20] On October 21, 2014, the show was given a full season order.[21] On January 11, 2015, the show was renewed for a second season, set to air during the 2015–16 television season.[5]

Broadcast

Jane the Virgin premiered on The CW on October 13, 2014, during the 2014–15 television season.[22] Unique to the CW, it is the network's only program to feature a Spanish language audio track on the second audio program channel; however, as many CW stations usually do not carry the SAP channel due to a lack of need, this is more limited than the major networks, which are required by the FCC to have a SAP channel for the Descriptive Video Service track, which as a minor network, the CW is not required to carry.

The show premiered in global TV and Australia on Fox8 on December 1, 2014.[23] It is also scheduled to air in the UK on E4 in 2015.[24] Sony Channel will broadcast the series throughout Southeast Asia as replacements of Sony Entertainment Television in Southeast Asia (including BeTV in the Philippines). In Canada, new episodes are added each week to the streaming service Shomi, in addition to cable carriage by some providers of American CW affiliates such as Chicago's WGN-TV. The show is set to premiere in New Zealand on July 24 at 9.30pm on Prime.

On March 28, 2016, the program (dubbed in Tagalog language) started airing on ABS-CBN in the Philippines and currently aired on the Primetime Bida block as a replacement of You're My Home.[25]

Reception

Jane the Virgin has received critical acclaim with critics praising its writing and Gina Rodriguez's performance. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season of the show a "certified fresh" rating of 100% based on 48 reviews, with a rating average of 7.7 out of 10. The site's consensus states, "Jane the Virgin's dubious premise has become part of its unlikely charm – along with delightfully diverse writing and a knockout performance by Gina Rodriguez."[26] Metacritic, another review aggregator, gives the show a score of 80 out of 100, based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[27]

The second season also received critical acclaim. On Metacritic, the season holds a 87 out of 100, based on 4 reviews indicating "universal acclaim".[28] Rotten Tomatoes gave it a "certified fresh" rating of 100% based on 10 reviews. The site's Consensus reads "Jane the Virgin stays true to its over-the-top telenovela roots in season two while layering in more humor and increasingly complex storytelling." [29] Maureen Ryan of Variety praised the show, saying that the series "is envisioned, edited and curated with great deftness and economy, and the fact that it is so entertaining and accessible should not preclude it from being at the center of conversations about the best the medium has to offer."[30]
