'Roswell, New Mexico' Season 1: Show goes beyond entertainment, tackling issues that will make it a millennial favorite

The show might be dabbling with the same old topic about aliens and spaceships, but this time there are a few things which are quite relevant to our times
UPDATED JAN 15, 2019

The CW's reboot of the '90s cult classic, 'Roswell', is about to premiere on January 15, but this time it will be a lot more than just another science fiction repeating the same old tale of aliens. Coming from Julie Plec, 'Roswell: New Mexico' will star Nathan Parsons as Max Evans, Jeanine Mason as Liz Ortech, Jessica Treska as Isobel, Tyler Blackburn as Alex Manes, and Michael Vlamis as Michael.

The show's premise is quite similar to its predecessor as it is set to follow Liz who arrives in town to aid her father. When she arrives, she reconnects with her high school crush Max Evans, who is now a police officer. Their chemistry is electric, but Liz soon learns something shocking: Max and his siblings are aliens who have kept their abilities secret their entire lives.
