Jane The Virgin, the beloved romcom, is bidding farewell to Netflix. The show initially premiered on The CW in October 2014 and gained a new audience when it started streaming on Netflix in 2015. Fans might be surprised to hear that Jane the Virgin is leaving its streaming home, but it’s because Netflix no longer has a deal with The CW, which means they won’t automatically get streaming rights for its shows.
While it’s unfortunate news for fans, there is some logic behind Jane the Virgin’s departure from Netflix this year. According to Deadline, Netflix will continue streaming The CW shows “during the broadcast life of the series and for a number of years beyond that.” Other CW shows have also left Netflix after five years, so fans of Jane the Virgin have had a good amount of time to enjoy the show on the platform.
Jane the Virgin is a critically acclaimed comedy that revolves around the life of Jane Villanueva, played by Gina Rodriguez. Jane is a religious young woman who has worked hard to keep her life on track and avoid following in her mother’s footsteps, who had her as a teenager. At 23, Jane is studying to become a teacher and is in a happy relationship with a man who respects her decision to save herself for marriage. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she accidentally gets inseminated and discovers that the father is none other than the attractive hotel tycoon who owns the place she works at. The series also stars Justin Baldoni, Andrea Navedo, Jaime Camil, and Brett Dier.
Gina Rodriguez’s performance as Jane is both moving and quirky, earning her a Golden Globe for Best Actress. The show itself was also recognized at the 2015 Peabody Awards.
For those who want to catch up on or rewatch Jane the Virgin, the last day to watch the series on Netflix is September 5th. All five seasons of the critically acclaimed show are currently available for streaming on Netflix. It remains uncertain if the show will be available on other platforms now that it’s leaving Netflix. However, fans can still purchase the show on Prime Video and Apple TV.
In conclusion, while it’s sad news that Jane the Virgin is leaving Netflix, fans have had ample time to enjoy the show on the platform. Gina Rodriguez’s outstanding performance and the show’s unique storyline have garnered critical acclaim. As the departure date approaches, fans can still catch up on the series or revisit their favorite moments before it leaves Netflix.
