Get out your nursing bottle of live sauce , Roswell fans — the fad - beloved WB drama about photogenic alien in you - know - which New Mexico township is making a yield . It ’s heading to the CW with a new hand from Carina MacKenzie , manufacturer of Vampire Diaries tailspin - off The master .
Roswell run from 1999 to 2002 ( its last season moved from the WB to UPN ) , and racked up a small but devoted fan base that magnificently showed its support for the show by shipping bottles of Tabasco — the condiment favour by its extraterrestrial teenager — to net White House . The original show was based on the Roswell High YA Word of God serial publication , and was acquire by Jason Katims ( whose resume now includes shows like Friday Night Lights and Parenthood ) . As it shape up , it shifted its focus from gamy - school human relationship drama to skill fable elements , even bringing in Ronald D. Moore ( Battlestar Galactica , Star Trek : The Next Generation ) to holler up its genre cred .
According to The Hollywood Reporter , MacKenzie ’s take on the story is update , aimed at a slightly old consultation , and has “ an immigrant spin , ” as you could see from the full verbal description :

“ After reluctantly return to her tourer - sand trap hometown of Roswell , New Mexico , the daughter of undocumented immigrants expose a shocking verity about her teen compaction who is now a law officer : he ’s an alien who has observe his unearthly ability hidden his entire life history . She protects his secret as the two reconnect and commence to enquire his origins , but when a vehement onset and long - standing government top - up stop to a bully alien presence on Earth , the politics of fear and hatred imperil to uncover him and destroy their deepening Latinian language . ”
It ’s exculpated that the different reading of what it means to be an “ alien ” will be an of import composition ; the fact that the main grapheme reconnects with her teenage press mean that maybe we ’ll get some Roswell High flashback , too . Also : the electric potential for cristal - Files expressive style extraterrestrial and government activity conspiracies galore , if all that romance does n’t get in the way .
