The original Roswell ran on The WB and UPN between 1999 and 2002, and was something of a cult-classic for the former television networks. The source material, the Roswell High book series by Melinda Metz, has captured imaginations for a couple of decades, and now has inspired another series, the Roswell, New Mexico TV show. Is it too out-of-this-world to succeed in something as mundane as the Nielsen ratings? Will Roswell, New Mexico be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
A CW supernatural, science-fiction drama, Roswell, New Mexico stars Jeanine Mason, Nathan Dean Parsons, Lily Cowles, Michael Vlamis, Michael Trevino, Tyler Blackburn, Heather Hemmens, Trevor St. John, and Karan Oberoi. This series centers on Liz Ortecho (Mason), who’s back in town after a decade away. After reconnecting with her old crush, Roswell PD Officer Max Evans (Parsons), she learns he, his sister Isobel (Cowles) and their friend, Michael (Vlamis), are aliens. Now Liz has to keep this secret from everyone she knows, including her old high school boyfriend, Dr. Kyle Valenti (Trevino), and her best friend, Maria De Luca (Hemmens). Meanwhile, the politics of hatred, fear, and division threaten to expose them all and risk everyone’s lives.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly in the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Roswell, New Mexico TV series on The CW? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
*4/24/19 update: The CW has renewed Roswell, New Mexico for a second season.
Obviously very politically bias. Several jabs at President Trump. Anti-firearm in season finally . Its a fantasy show , but watchers need to know that – no California is not the only state that requires a background check for a firearm.
When the first Roswell was on, I was one of those who sent Tobasco Sauces to protest rumours of cancellation. I started watching Roswell New Mexico to see how it compared to the old show. Even though so much of it was different, I think that the spirit of the show continues. I am glad it was renewed for another season.

I prefer original Roswell over this reboot. Now that it’s renewed, perhaps the writers can go back to the basic elements that made original Roswell so special in the 1st place!
I hope it gets renewed. I’ve been a faithful watcher since it’s debut.
Well they should be happy they are on the CW and they tend to keep lower rated shows but honestly this show was a huge insult to the original series and books. They would have been better off doing a new series about aliens in Roswell then rebooting the old one if they were going to change everything about it. I don’t really care if it gets renewed I won’t be watching on to the next
Totally 200% agree with you!
Agreed!
I concur!
