'Roswell: New Mexico': Nathan Parsons teases the Easter Eggs in the show that will take original 'Roswell' fans down memory lane

Although Parsons' Max is a police officer with his own responsibilities, he still retains a lot of Behr's Max and the innocence and charm of the character

The CW is taking its '90s audience on a trip down memory lane with their most recent reboot of the 1999 cult classic, 'Roswell', which had starred Shiri Appleby and Jason Behr as the teenage star-crossed lovers, Liz Ortech and Max Evans. Picking up with almost a similar storyline, the reboot, 'Roswell: New Mexico', is following the now adult Liz as she returns to her native town Roswell only to discover an uncomforting truth about her childhood sweetheart, Max. Played by Jeanine Mason and Nathan Parsons, the reboot is pulling in some extremely contemporary themes such as immigration and LGBTQ in order to make it more relatable for the millennial audience.

However, Parsons has stated that the show might also have a lot in store for original 'Roswell' fans. Speaking to MEAWW at the Critics Choice Awards, Parsons subtly teased about Easter Eggs on the show that the original show's fans will totally relate to.
