Gina Rodriguez got her start on Jane the Virgin, which was created by Jennie Snyder Urman. Urman has since created Matlock.
The EP invited her former star to appear on her new series, according to a photo of the season finale that Tom Bergeron posted.
The former Dancing with the Stars host wrote, “Got some Season Finale spoilers while visiting with my buddy @jason_ritter & guest star Gina Rodriquez, but I’m keeping that info under Matlock & key 😏”
What Jane, I mean Gina, will be doing on the legal drama, we do not know. But hopefully it is not a one-off appearance.
We also don’t know whether her character will be part of a shocking twist that is revealed in the final minutes of the episode. Because the one thing we do know from both shows is that Urman is the best at writing cliffhangers you never see coming. So I can’t wait to see what she has for the season 2 finale.
Gina Rodriguez has been keeping a secret. She and her husband, Joe LoCicero, are expecting their second child together. The little girl has a loving big brother, Charlie, 2.
The Jane the Virgin star was a series regular on Will Trent last season, but left without explanation before the finale. There is no word whether she will be back, and if she does return, will they write in her pregnancy.
ABC might’ve cancelled Not Dead Yet, but that does not mean that they are done with Gina Rodriguez. The actress has been cast to star alongside Ramón Rodríguez (no relation) in season 3 of Will Trent.
According to Deadline, she “will portray Marion Alba, a charismatic, confident Assistant District Attorney new to Atlanta. After her first encounter with Will falls flat, the pair is surprised to learn that they must work together to investigate a crime in the world of Atlanta gangs.”
