Jane the Virgin removal explained
However, it’s even worse for viewers. The most annoying thing about the streaming boom is the lack of permanence on any onestreaming service(Netflix has even shopped out its own titles, like The Power of the Dog).
New moviesand TV shows come and go, and Jane the Virgin is the latest casualty – so, what’s the deal?
Jane the Virgin left Netflix because the platform didn’t renew its deal with The CW, meaning its programming is now up for grabs for other platforms.
Here’s the thing: Jane the Virgin should be the least of your concerns. The deal wasn’t strictly with the CW – it was between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery (who partly owns CW), who wants its other titles back for its own streaming service,Max.
It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Jane the Virgin could find its way back to Netflix, it’s just a matter of the company bidding for the streaming rights like everyone else.
That didn’t leave fans long to watch all five seasons (that’s 99 episodes of TV… light work, if you ask me).
“I’m about to get off Netflix! Who told y’all to get rid of Jane the Virgin?! First Gossip Girl now this,” a thirdposted.
The series, a satirical telenovela created by Jennie Snyder Urman, stars Gina Rodriguez as the titular Jane, a devout young woman who becomes pregnant after an accidental artificial insemination.
No streaming service has officially claimed Jane the Virgin yet, but considering how Warner Bros. is part owner of The CW, it’s likely the series could end up on Max.
Max is where Warner Bros. release their content, and since it’s the biggest streamer to have a stake in CW shows, we’d be willing to bet on this being where it’ll land.
