The fifth and final season of The CW’s Jane the Virgin premieres this Wednesday. Last season saw series regular character Petra begin a relationship with Jane Ramos (JR), which was in jeopardy at the end of the fourth season. In the premiere, Jane makes a shocking discovery and looks to Rafael for answers, but is confused by his decision to put everything he and Jane have on hold. Meanwhile, Petra is trying to secure a future with the hope of it being with JR, but her past might jeopardize everything. Jane the Virgin: Wednesday, 9pm on The CW.
Abby’s, a new sitcom starting on NBC this Thursday, stars out bi actress Natalie Morales as Abby, the owner and bartender of the titular Abby’s. The character is also bisexual, making the show a network sitcom with a bisexual woman of color in the lead and as the title character, which is an exciting development. In the premiere, Abby’s unlicensed backyard bar hits a major snag when new landlord Bill, who recently inherited the house from his deceased aunt, shows up and proposes major changes.
