‘Jane the Virgin’ episode 2 preview: What’s next for Gina Rodriguez, cast?

Tonight, The CW debuted what was arguably their riskiest series of the entire fall TV series: “Jane the Virgin.” The show has a hokey name, and that and the concept (a woman who gets accidentally inseminated) are two things that could scare some viewers away.

However, at the same time the show has some very strong reviews out there, and all the cast members are hoping for are a chance to continue to impress us. That is what next week’s “Chapter Two” is going to try to do. If you want to see a few details right now about what you can expect, take a look at the attached synopsis:

“Jane (Gina Rodriguez) struggles to keep her unexpected pregnancy from taking over her life, but with her mom Xiomara (Andrea Navedo) pressuring her to sue the doctor who accidently inseminated her, and her constant run-ins with the baby’s biological father, Rafael (Justin Baldoni), life is anything but normal. To top it off, Michael’s (Brett Dier) jealousy about Jane and Rafael’s past leads him to make an unexpected alliance with Petra (Yael Grobglas). Meanwhile, Jane’s own father, Rogelio (Jaime Camil), is insisting on meeting his daughter, but Xiomara wants to keep the secret from Jane a little while longer.”

As with all new shows, we feel like “Jane the Virgin” deserves three or four to prove itself, and given the ratings, we do think that it will get that much. The one thing we’re most concerned about is that we cannot really see the crossover audience for this show and its lead-in “The Originals.”
