Last season, with Supergirl as its lead-in on Monday nights, the demo ratings for The CW’s Jane the Virgin TV show only dropped a little more than five percent, and its total ratings grew a skosh. In its fourth season, it now follows the network’s lowest rated TV series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, on ratings-challenged Fridays. CW President Mark Pedowitz cited the satirical telenovela’s critical acclaim when it was picked up for a fourth installment, but rumor has it the episode order has already been cut. Since this season will leave it with a good syndication package, will Jane the Virgin be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.
A CW comedy-drama Jane the Virgin stars Gina Rodriguez, Andrea Navedo, Yael Grobglas, Ivonne Coll, Jaime Camil, and Justin Baldoni. Although saving herself for marriage, Jane (Rodriguez) is accidentally impregnated via artificial insemination. Season four picks up three years later, with the widowed (and no longer virginal) Jane drawing upon her grief to write a book which recounts her love story with the late Michael (Bret Dier). She and Rafael (Baldoni) are now close friends, but unlike his other kids, their son Mateo (Elias Janssen) is full of mischief. In other news, Petra (Grobglas) and her twin sister Anezka wind up persons of interest in the murder of Scott (Wes Armstrong). **Status updates below.

do not cancel the show jane the virgin
want jane the virgin to continue
Jane the virgin is by FAR the BEST series I have ever watched. I have watched in through many times and it never gets old. There NEEDS to be a season 5, it is just too good to go without!
I loveeeeeee <3
It’s my favorite show of all time. It brings me joy, but also helps me when I’m feeling down about my life. Especially when Jane didn’t get great reviews on her novel, it helped me to see her rededicate herself to writing. I was doubting my career choice but seeing them work through it on JTV helped Me to not give up so quickly.
I absolutely ADORE Jane the virgin. I’ve watched it over and over all the way through on Netflix many times, and I keep stalking the CW website to see when the next episode will air. Many people don’t watch live anymore because cable is so expensive, but many use the internet to catch up! Don’t cancel!!
I love Jane the Virgin! I hope it gets renewed for season 5, So please CW renew the Show!
Totally ruined by the arrival of Tyler Posey and his dreadful acting! Worst casting decision ever.
I love Jane the virgin! Watch it religiously. Sometimes a couple days later now because it’s on Friday night. It deserves a weekday spot!!!!!!
I love this show please don’t cancel the show . Love it my favorite couple ever Jane and Rafael
