The CW is rebooting cancelled sci-fi drama Roswell for the 2018-19 season.
The network has put in an initial pilot order for its planned Roswell series, which is described as follows:
Logline: After reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of undocumented immigrants discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a police officer: he’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life. She protects his secret as the two reconnect and begin to investigate his origins, but when a violent attack and long-standing government cover-up point to a greater alien presence on Earth, the politics of fear and hatred threaten to expose him and destroy their deepening romance.
Executive Producer/Writer: Carina Adly MacKenzie
Executive Producers: Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank (Amblin Television); Lawrence Bender, Kevin Kelly Brown.
Based on the Roswell High book series, by Melinda Metz
The original Roswell survived three seasons on The WB and UPN from 1999 to 2002.
Would you watch this Roswell reboot? Should The CW leave the show in the cancellation graveyard?
GPB says
I would Definitely watch a Roswell reboot. It was a great show with some very talented actors.
Hope they cast it with talented actors and not women with DOUBLE D’S and men (models) off the cover of an Ad, or magazine.
Robert and Charlotte Winkler says
We are so happy to see Roswell come back. Will are looking forward to seeing it. . Just let us know when pilot episode is ready. I cannot tell you how many times we have watched Roswell, would go through the series and then start all over again a couple months later. Then it was taken out of the Netflix line up and we were very upset. It is the best syfy series show ever.
