The CW's critically lauded new series "Jane the Virgin" has been given the thumbs up for a full season just two episodes into its run. Last Tuesday, the network ordered additional episodes for the season, which means fans of the show can now enjoy 22 episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
In a statement, The CW president Mark Pedowitz said, "'Jane the Virgin' [is] recognized as the best new show this season by critics across the country. Over the past three seasons, we have made it our mission to grow and broaden out our audience, and to keep raising the bar with the quality and impact of our new shows."
"Jane the Virgin" is based on the Venezuelan telenovela "Juana La Virgen." The show has received rave reviews, especially for Gina Rodriguez, who plays a 23-year old who becomes pregnant after her doctor artificially inseminates her by mistake. It turns out that the biological father is not only a married man, but is the new owner of the hotel where Jane works, who also was her crush during her teen years.
