Jane the Virgin is leaving Netflix as of September 5, due to The CW and Netflix being unable to renew their partnership in 2019. As a consequence, several CW shows that were once streaming on Netflix have been gradually pulled from the platform over the years, with Jane the Virgin being the latest case.

However, there are options to view the satirical telenovela outside of a Netflix subscription. This includes renting or buying the show on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, the Microsoft Store, Fandango at Home, and YouTube.

Jane the Virgin is an adaptation of Venezuela's Juana la Virgen and stars Gina Rodriguez as Jane Gloriana Villanueva, a 23-year-old hotel worker who is saving herself for marriage at her grandmother's behest. However, due to a mistake by her doctor, she is artificially inseminated and becomes pregnant.

With Jane the Virgin leaving Netflix, here are the platforms where viewers in the United States can rent or buy the series: Amazon Prime Video, the Microsoft Store, Apple TV, and YouTube.

Renting will allow viewers to watch the show at a reduced price but with a limited availability window. A full purchase is considerably more expensive, with the complete series costing $59.99, but will allow audiences to keep it in their digital library in perpetuity.

Regardless, despite the series leaving Netflix, several options remain for those who missed out on their chance to watch the critically acclaimed satirical telenovela series.


Jane the Virgin cast and characters

The main cast of Jane the Virgin is as follows:

  • Gina Rodriguez as Jane Gloriana Villeneuva, who's a 23 year old hotel worker aspiring to be a teacher. She gets accidentally inseminated due to her doctor's negligence during a pap smear, which causes tensions with her current boyfriend and brings her to the interest of the hotel owner she works for.
  • Andrea Navedo as Xiomara "Xo" Gloriana Villeneuva, Jane's mother. She'd become pregnant with her daughter at the age of 16, and Jane seeks to avoid following in her mother's footsteps. She starts out the series as a dance teacher, eager to get into singing.
  • Justin Baldoni as Rafael Solano, the owner of the Marbella Hotel where Jane works.
