'Roswell: New Mexico': Fans are skeptical about 'Legacies' showrunner Julie Plec directing pilot episode of reboot

Fans certainly do not want to see new faces for old characters, but with Julie Plec directing the pilot, that might not be avoided

Fans cannot wait for The CW's upcoming show, 'Roswell: New Mexico' to hit the screen on January 15, and it seems this time they are pretty apprehensive about the new alien family. Picking up from the 1999-2002 series, 'Roswell', starring Shiri Appleby and Jason Behr, the reboot is set to follow the daughter of undocumented immigrants, Liz (to be played by Jeanine Mason), who discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush, and Max (to be played by Nathan Parsons), who is now a police officer.

As an alien, Max 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.
