Tales Of The City came back into our lives on Netflix earlier this month, reintroducing familiar faces and welcoming a whole host of newcomers.

Among the newbies was Jake Rodriguez (played by Garcia), a transgender man who had become one of Anna Madrigal’s (Olympia Dukakis) carers.

Viewers followed Jake and his girlfriend Margot Park (May Hong) as they navigated their relationship and the varying hurdles that were thrown their way, including learning about the evolving nature of their sexuality.

Many of us fell in love with Jake and Margot’s story and called for them to get their own spin-off series, and now actor Garcia has revealed what they’d like to explore if the opportunity ever arose.




Speaking to Metro.co.uk about the possibility of their character returning to the small-screen, Garcia began: ‘I’m interested in the friendship that Margot and him continue to have and I’m interested in his relationship with Flaco (Juan Castano) – like is this going to be a thing? What does that mean?

‘If not, what does that mean for Jake? Is he going to go off? Is he going to be a free bird?’

Garcia continued: ‘I’m hoping Jake will go off. I don’t know if we’ve seen on-screen a trans character explore that entire spectrum so what would that mean if Jake went off and did that?

‘I’m also interested in his living situation and his degree? Is he going to be a doctor?’

Netflix released Tales Of The City as a limited series so it looks unlikely that it’ll ever return for a second installment – but we can all still hope that Jake and Margot’s stories could evolve in some shape or form, right?

In the meantime, we’re just happy re-watching the magic that is the fourth adaptation of Armistead Maupin’s creation.

Tales Of The City is available to stream on Netflix.
