PASADENA, Calif. \u2014 The upcoming final season of \u201cJane the Virgin\u201d is already drawing tears.<\/p>\n

The CW show’s creator, Jennie Snyder Urman, said she’s crying in the editing room as she works on the concluding episodes of the show starring Gina Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

The producer and actress grew emotional discussing the telenovela-style comedy-drama Thursday with TV critics. They were asked how they would look back on \u201cJane the Virgin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much representation matters, what it feels like to be seen,\u201d Urman said of the show focused on a Latino family, a rarity on TV.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez said the audience response affirmed her belief that young girls would be empowered seeing a Latina character. She’s encouraged to increase her influence through directing and producing, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou changed my life,\u201d a tearful Rodriguez said to Urman.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou changed mine,\u201d the producer replied.<\/p>\n

As for the final episode, Urman said she’s intent on providing \u201ca real sense of closure.\u201d She said she’s feeling pressure to say goodbye in the right way and wants to \u201cstick the landing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fifth season of \u201cJane the Virgin,\u201d which begins March 27, has much to resolve. Last season closed with Jane, who’s contemplating marriage to Rafael (Justin Baldoni), learning that her late husband Michael (Brett Dier) may have made a miraculous comeback.<\/p>\n

The mystery of Michael’s apparent return will be explored in early episodes of season five, which will conclude this summer. The finale date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

There may be a spinoff, a telenovela anthology series with Rodriguez and Urman serving as executive producers. CW has ordered a pilot for series consideration, with cast members yet to be announced. Rodriguez will be heard if not seen on it, narrating stories based on fictional novels written by her \u201cJane the Virgin\u201d character.<\/p>\n
