The CW's new show, 'Jane The Virgin' has become one of the most anticipated shows to premiere this fall. It has been gaining critic's praises left and right along with CW's other new show, 'The Flash.'
According to Deadline, additional scripts have already been ordered by the CW for the Venezuelan telenovela adaptation two weeks before its actual premiere telecast.
The show's star, Gina Rodriguez was already noticed by critics and has been predicted to be this season's breakout star.
ET Online also called Rodriguez the "it" breakout star of fall.
According to the news outlet, she turned down a role in Lifetime's 'Devious Maids' because it greatly conflicted with her principles. She refused to take up roles that perpetuate a certain stereotype of Latina women.
In a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 29-year-old Latina actress expressed, "The idea of being a sacrificial lamb, or being a complicated actor really wasn't the truth; it was more for standing for what you believe in."
So why did she take on the role for 'Jane The Virgin?' Rodriguez believes that Jane will be able to become a character that young Latina girls can look up to.
Rodriguez will play the role of 23-year-old virgin Jane, who wants to keep her purity intact after a life-changing lecture from her grandmother about virginity.
However, she gets artificially inseminated by accident during a routine checkup. To make matters more complicated, she ends up being pregnant with the sperm sample from the guy who gave Jane her first kiss, Rafael. She also has to break the news to her boyfriend who doesn't take the news lightly at first.
The NYU Tisch School for the Arts graduate doesn't only act. She has also created the company I Can and I Will Productions which aims to help original Latino productions and artists as a way to give other people a start their careers.
"I grew up with very humble beginnings. I learned at a really young age that money doesn't make me who I am," she told ET Online. "Driving nice cars and wearing fancy clothes doesn't make Gina awesome. Gina can make Gina awesome."
Catch 'Jane The Virgin' on the CW on Monday, October 13.
