The CW’s Roswell reboot continues to take shape, with Vampire Diaries and The Originals boss Julie Plec drafted into the helm the series, per Deadine:
Prolific writer-producer Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries, The Originals) has landed her first pilot directing gig, with the CW’s Roswell reboot, from writer Carina Adly MacKenzie, Amblin TV, Bender Brown Prods and Warner Bros. TV. Plec also will executive produce the pilot and will continue as executive producer via her My So-Called Company production banner if the pilot is ordered to series.
Written and executive produced by The Originals scribe MacKenzie, the new Roswell, which has an immigration twist, reflects the realities of its location in a state bordering Mexico.

I loved the old Roswell and can’t wait to see the reboot!

Was a big fan of the original Roswell series. A roboot could work but if they turn this into a political drama series it will fail. You will be turning off half the country. Just the mention of the word immigration may put people on notice. The location of Mexico has changed since the original aired.
