On November 9, 2015 Britney Spears guest starred on "Chapter Twnety-seven", the fifth episode of Jane the Virgin's second season. The episode written by Jessica O'Toole and directed by Jann Turner displays Britney as the nemesis of Rogelio (Jaime Camil) playing a parody of herself, as she arrives to the Marbella Hotel to perform. We see her interacting with Jane throughout the episode, and we also learn that Rogelio is mad at her for a teleprompter incident that happened in 2009 when the two of them presented at the Latin Pop Music Awards, so he tries to confront her while she pretends not to know him. Jane eventually talks to her to find out she was the first to get mad at him for revealing to the paparazzi where she was gonna be in one occasion, but ultimately convinces her to reconcile with her father through a video call. Gina Rodriguez who plays Jane on the series commented about Britney on set “You can tell she just wanted to be there. I mean, you can tell she’s got comedy chops. Like nobody’s business.” Jaime Camil also talked about his experience working with Britney: "She’s actually very good as an actress. She’s so nice, always on time, always a professional, always ready to explore what is best for the show acting-wise, super sweet, super friendly. As you know, like seven months ago, she said that she really dug the show. But she is a mega-worldwide superstar so we were all pleasantly surprised about her cooperation and how willing she was to play with us and have fun. It was a really, really pleasant surprise." In 2020, Mexican actress Yadhira Carrillo revealed she was asked by Jaime Camil to play this role first, but she had to refuse due to the business that she runs in Mexico City.
