Deadline is reporting that Jacqueline Grace Lopez (East Los High, Light as a Feather) has been cast in the lead role for The CW’s Jane the Novela, the Jane the Virgin spinoff pilot.
The first installment takes place at a Napa Valley Vineyard, where family secrets (and family members) don’t stay buried for long.
Jane the Novela is envisioned as a soapy, telenovela-inspired anthology series in the tradition of Jane the Virgin, where each season is based on a different fictional novel “written by” Jane Villanueva and narrated by the author herself.
Jane the Virgin writer Valentina Garza will pen the pilot.
