AceShowbiz - Jane Gloriana Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez) will finally have sex in the third season of "Jane the Virgin". Executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman confirmed the news during the ATX TV Festival in Austin over the weekend.
"Yes, yes, yes - it's happening!" Jennie told ET of the highly-anticipated sex scene, "She'll lose her virginity this year for sure." According to the showrunner, Jane's big moment will not be "a season opener or a season finale."
"I definitely never want it to be a season opener or a season finale. To me, it feels like it puts too much pressure on it, and that isn't what the show is about at its core," Jennie shared, "I just wanted to put that moment in the show, but not build to fireworks."
The showrunner dished on the highly-anticipated scene, "I don't have an image and I don't yet know what it will look like. There's a lot of pressure on that moment and I haven't drilled down - so to speak - on what will happen. I have a lot of different ideas on what that will be, and how big to make it, and how many complications and so forth, so I'm excited about that, but also nervous because I want to execute it well."
"I'm also excited for it to happen so that any last questions that that's what the show is about, is answered," she added.
So what will happen to the series' title after Jane is no longer a virgin? "We'll cross out 'the Virgin' and then we'll continue on," Jennie revealed. "I think it will always say 'Jane the Virgin' and then we'll just cross it off each time."
Who will Jane lose her virginity to? Her new husband Michael was shot in the chest by his partner in the season 2 finale. "Regardless of if Michael lives or if Michael dies, it's what happens after?" Jennie explained, "After something so traumatic, can you still hold on to your sense of magic a little bit? It's continuing that move from fantasy to reality."
"Jane the Virgin" season 3 will premiere this fall on The CW.
