Jane the Virgin continues its stellar guest casting with the addition of Brooke Shields, according to Variety. But what we're particularly excited about is who she'll be playing.

Shields is joining the series as a former supermodel named River Fields who gets into a spat with Rogelio De La Vega (Jaime Camil) and the feud only gets bigger when things go viral, turning Fields into Rogelio's new nemesis. Oooooh!

The actress joins the CW telenovela for a five-episode arc beginning Friday, Feb. 9.

The network also recently announced that Rosario Dawson would be joining the series for a guest arc, though it did not say who she will be playing.
