Jane Gloriana Villanueva’s story will not continue on after all: The CW has passed on a pilot for Jane the Virgin spinoff Jane the Novela, TVLine has confirmed.
Novela was to be a telenovela-inspired anthology based on Villanueva’s fictional novels, with Jane star Gina Rodriguez narrating the episodes.
The cast was to include Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives), Hunter Parrish (Weeds) — and Jane the Virgin co-star Ivonne Coll, playing a different role than Jane‘s Alba.
Meanwhile, the original Jane the Virgin‘s fifth and final season currently airs Wednesdays at 9/8c.
