Rosario Dawson will join the back half of Season 4 of JANE THE VIRGIN for a multi-episode arc, The CW announced Sunday.

There were no other details revealed about her role.

The fourth season of the show has seen Gina Rodriguez’s titular Jane rekindle – and then put out – a romance with her first love, Adam (Tyler Poesy), who came back into her life at the end of Season 3. Meanwhile, in the cliffhanger of a midseason final, Rafael (Justin Baldoni) realized he still had feelings for his baby mama and kissed her, in a moment reminiscent of the exes’ first kiss back in Season 1.

Elsewhere, Alba (Ivonne Coll) surprised herself when she turned down a proposal from Jorge, and Xo (Andrea Navedo) and Rogelio (Jaime Camill) dealt with being newlyweds while he co-parented a newborn with his ex, Darcy. And poor Petra (Yael Groblas) continued to be plagued by her evil twin Annezka, who finally died after several false alarms.

Dawson is currently best known for her role as Claire Temple across all over Netflix’s Marvel shows, the most recent being The Defenders. Her film credits include upcoming indies Krystal and BattleScar. She is represented by CAA and Untitled Entertainment.

Jane the Virgin currently airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET on The CW, following Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
