‘Jane The Virgin’ Star Brett Dier Lands New Gig In CBS Comedy

Brett Dier was uncomfortable as Michael Cordero in The CW show, “Jane the Virgin,” and there is no question that his presence in the telenovela is greatly missed.

But fans of Dier can now catch him in a different show. According to Deadline, Dier has been tapped as the male lead opposite Ana Villafañe in CBS’ high-profile multi-camera and hybrid comedy pilot, “History of Them.”

Dier will play Adam, who is described as an “adorable and a little nerdy web cartoonist. He’s been mostly a serial monogamist but is determined to sow his oats before getting into his next long term relationship.”

His love story with Luna (Villafañe) will be uniquely explored with the use of their social media pages such as Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Aside from Dier and Villafañe, others included in the show are Lisa Vidal, Felix Solis and Amit Shah.

Dier bid his goodbye to “Jane the Virgin” in Chapter Fifty-Four of Season 3. In a shocking twist, Michael passed away right after completing the LSAT. His death was caused by an aortic dissection from his gunshot wound, which he seemed to have survived during the start of the season. Just when he and Jane were building their lives together, fate dealt them with a cruel blow.

Fans were devastated over his loss, and many were curious where they’ll see Dier next. When asked on Twitter what he’ll be doing now that he’s done with “Jane the Virgin,” the actor responded then by saying that nothing’s definite yet, although he has been presented with a lot of great opportunities.

It seems like Dier himself was heartbroken over Michael’s death. He told Entertainment Weekly that there’s one thing he would miss most about playing Michael.

“The love he has for Jane. The amount of love he has for Jane, and how sincere he was in that relationship. I’m going to miss that Michael and Jane relationship because I thought it was a really beautifully written relationship,” he said. “I also like the fun stuff with Rogelio (Jamie Camil). I liked the comedic moments that I got to do [and] the detective stuff was fun too.”
