'Jane the Virgin' Creator Opens Up About Series Finale

WARNING: DO NOT KEEP READING IF YOU DO NOT WANT PLOT DETAILS SPOILED!

Jane the Virgin has officially come to an end.

After five seasons and 100 episodes, the Gina Rodriguez-led CW series has ended on Wednesday (July 31).

In the finale, Jane and Rafael finally tied the knot, Petra an JR finally reconciled, and Esteban proposed to Darci. It was also revealed that the narrator is a grown-up Matteo and the show is an adaption of Jane’s novel.

Show runner Snyder Urman opened up about the finale, and revealed that the show’s ending was exactly how she always pictured it.

“The ending of the show was the ending that I pitched in the room to the CW six years ago,” Sydney shared with Deadline.

Sydney then went on to explain how she chose Jane’s son Mateo as the narrator.

“I decided it was Mateo in the middle of the first season. So yes, after the voice was introduced,” Sydney shared. “That said, I don’t think the accent is a decoy; it’s part of the reveal. I wanted all the pieces to fit together and I wanted the reveal to add another layer to our meta-telenovela. The Narrator is Mateo putting on an accent because he is a celebrated voice-over artist. Much like the brilliant Anthony Mendez.”

As for where the characters go from here, Sydney doesn’t have anything else planned right now.

I don’t want to speak to any future developments,” Sydney added. “I want to leave the ending, as the ending… and everything beyond can exist in imagination.”

Gina Rodriguez Had The CW Donate 'Jane the Virgin' Emmy Campaign Money to a Great Cause

Emmy voters won’t be mingling with Gina Rodriguez at For Your Consideration events this summer as she has asked The CW to donate the money the network set aside for a Jane the Virgin campaign.

Networks typically spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, on campaigns to make sure voters are considering their shows.

Gina asked The CW to donate the allotted funds for Jane the Virgin to a college scholarship for an undocumented high school student heading to Princeton University in the fall.

“Our show has always jumped at any opportunity to help me do something for the Latinx community,” Gina told THR. “So I asked my showrunner, Jennie [Snyder Urman], if we could do something different with the money this year.”

“It’s taboo to talk about the money being spent, but it’s the reality,” she added. “I think sharing this might inspire other people to do something similar. You can desire recognition and, at the same time, decide to not play in the confines of the game as it’s set up.”

Go Gina!
