Gina Rodriguez has booked a guest-starring role on Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 5B. Details on her character are being kept under wraps, but it
seems likely Rodriguez will be playing a love interest to Stephanie Beatriz’s Rosa Diaz. And here’s why:
Earlier this season, it was revealed that Rosa is bisexual. Not long after, executive producer Dan Goor told EW we’d eventually meet Rosa’s girlfriend, and Beatriz was quick to offer up some big name dream castings, one of which was Rodriguez. “Love Gina Rodriguez, and think she would be fantastic,” the actress told EW. Rodriguez then responded enthusiastically.
Earlier this season
Diaz came out as bisexual and has talked about dating a woman. Back in January, Beatriz told EW that she thought the Jane the Virgin star would be great for the role, saying,
“[I] love Gina Rodriguez, and think she would be fantastic.” Rodriguez was down for the part, writing on Twitter that she was already getting her kissing lips ready for the possibility. Gina’s casting was first teased in a
now-deleted Instagram photo from Terry Crews, which we were able to screen grab. The Jane the Virgin actress,
is slated to appear in one episode. ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’
will return this spring on Fox.
