Fans and viewers of Jane the Virgin have been recently concerned about the romcom leaving Netflix, as they won't be able to watch their favorite Jane (played by Gina Rodriguez) on the streamer.

The removal of Jane the Virgin is expected because Netflix and CW did not renew their contract, resulting in the departure of many fan-adored shows. A potential $1 billion deal was signed between Netflix and CW in 2011 and renewed in 2016. However, the agreement will soon end, as Deadline's report suggested that they haven't renewed the deal.

This will lead to the removal of many shows, which includes Jane the Virgin. The rom-com is expected to leave the streamer in September, but many subscribers are already facing glitches when searching for Jane the Virgin.

While the American audience can find Jane the Virgin on Netflix, the streamer does not have it for the UK subscribers.

The worst nightmare for a dedicated fan could be the removal of their favorite show, just as many enthusiasts have been frustrated after learning about Jane the Virgin's departure from Netflix.

The highly acclaimed show featuring Gina Rodriguez as the young and goal-oriented Jane Villanueva revolves around her hilarious yet astonishing life after she discovers her pregnancy.

Jane was born to Xiomara Villanueva and grew up learning that she shouldn't have the same fate as her mother. However, an accidental artificial insemination sent shockwaves among the Villanueva family, after they learned that Jane, who was happily living her life as 'Jane the Virgin' was expecting.

Jane and her mother were even more surprised after learning that the baby belonged to a wealthy hotel owner. Her life takes a U-turn from Jane only focusing on her career, to finding out she's going to deliver a baby.

Throughout the seasons, Jane the Virgin features numerous comedic moments between the characters, making it a globally recognized show on Netflix. However, since the show's exit news, fans have actively expressed disappointment on the internet.
