Jane the Virgin final season: One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush to guest-star

Jane the Virgin isn’t pulling any punches in its final season.

Not only did the show shock viewers by — spoiler alert! — bringing Michael back from the dead in the season 4 finale, but now, it’s adding a special guest star to its ending. EW has confirmed that Sophia Bush will play a character named Julie in episode 12 of the telenovela’s final season.

Jane the Virgin star Justin Baldoni posted the news on Instagram — which Bush quickly reposted — stating that Bush’s role has to remain a mystery for now, though he did say that “some of you may not be happy about it.” Does that mean she could be playing a potential love interest? We know how much Jane fans love their ships.

Regardless of Bush’s character, there’s one thing we know for certain about Jane‘s final season: There’s a chance it won’t be the end of the series. The CW has already ordered a pilot for Jane the Novela, a telenovela anthology spin-off series.

When one of your favorite ladies calls you and says “will you come play in an episode for my last season!?” AND that means you also get to play with one of your favorite dudes!? Whelp. You say YES! What a dream come true. Beyond thrilled to be making some comedy alongside two of my favorite world-changers #laughsfordays ?? Repost @justinbaldoni ??? This is a man who is very grateful to be between two women who are literally changing the game. How cool that I get to work with amazing humans like this!? I’ve realized that there’s something about being in the presence of powerful women that actually grounds and calms me. (I mean look at who I married @emilybaldoni ??????????????) I’m so grateful that the supremely talented, kind-hearted and bad ass feminist- social justice warrior @sophiabush who I LOOOVE and adore came to play with us on @cwjanethevirgin this week. I can’t tell you who she is playing except that some of you may not be happy about it ????#canttellyou #sorrynotsorry #thefinalseason #march27
