'Roswell: New Mexico' Season 1: Is Max risking it all just for Liz to find out the truth in new 'Risk' trailer?
The CW has been revealing some clips of their upcoming reboot, 'Roswell: New Mexico', and the latest trailer, named 'Risk', in a way frames the basic plotline of the show. Picking up from the original 1999 show, 'Roswell', the reboot is set to star Jeanine Mason as Liz Ortecho, the daughter of undocumented immigrants, and Nathan Parsons as the alien-human hybrid, Max Evans, Liz's teenage sweetheart.
The show is set to follow Liz, who returns to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, as she discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush, Max, 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.
