The CW’s Jane The Virgin spin-off , Jane The Novela has found its male lead. Hunter Parrish will star opposite Jacqueline Grace Lopez in the spin-off.
Parrish will play Felix, Napa’s most eligible bachelor and heir apparent to his family’s winery. Although his future looks bright, Felix is tortured by the secrets of his past.
Written by Jane The Virgin scribe Valentina Garza and directed by Brad Silberling, Jane the Novela is a soapy, telenovela-inspired anthology series in the tradition of Jane the Virgin, where each season is based on a different fictional novel “written by” Jane Villanueva and narrated by the author herself.
The first installment takes place at the intersection of Napa Valley wine country and the San Francisco art scene and pairs family secrets and sins of the past with twists, tropes, and a bloody bottle of red. It centers on Estela (Lopez), an up-and-coming art curator who has spent years playing it safe and coloring within the lines. But a shocking secret changes everything and forces her to live a double life.
