"Jane The Virgin" is also a highly anticipated new series debuting on The CW. The upcoming American serial comedy-drama television series is a loose adaptation of the Venezuelan telenovela "Juana la virgen" (created by Perla Farías). Set in Miami, it stars Gina Rodríguez in the lead role, as a hard-working, religious young Latina woman whose family tradition and a vow to save her virginity until her marriage to a detective is shattered when a doctor accidentally artificially inseminates her by mistake 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. HOLA member Andrea Navedo plays Jane's mother Xiomara and Ivonne Coll plays Jane's grandmother Alba. Jaime Camil and Diane Guerrero co-star in the series, which is scheduled to premiere on Monday, October 13, 2014. Click here for more information about the series.
