TV show description:
An adaptation of the Roswell High book series by Melinda Metz, the Roswell, New Mexico TV show was developed for television by Carina Adly MacKenzie, a former writer on the cancelled series, The Originals. This is the second time Metz’s books have been adapted for TV, with the first being Roswell, which ran between 1999 and 2002, on The WB and UPN, and starred Shiri Appleby, Jason Behr, Katherine Heigl, and Brendan Fehr.
The supernatural, sci-fi drama unfolds in Roswell, New Mexico — long a magnet for those seeking proof of alien life — and it has become something of a tourist trap. Enter Liz Ortecho (Mason), who shook the city’s dust off her feet a decade prior, when her sister Rosa died. After losing government funding for her biomedical research, Liz returns to her hometown and moves back in with her father, Arturo (Compean).
Back on her old stomping ground, Liz soon meets up with Officer Max Evans (Parsons) of the Roswell PD — for whom she carried a torch in her teens. Their connection is immediate and powerful, but what really rocks Liz’s world is the secret Max has been keeping: he is an alien with some unusual abilities.
Max is not alone, either. His sister Isobel (Cowles) and their friend, Michael (Vlamis), are also aliens. This knowledge weighs on Liz, who feels guilty for not sharing it with her old high school boyfriend, Dr. Kyle Valenti (Trevino), not to mention her best friend, Maria De Luca (Hemmens).
Liz isn’t the only one who keeps the trio’s origins a secret. Isobel hasn’t even told her husband, Noah Bracken (Oberoi). Keeping the truth to themselves has affected them all in different ways, with Michael adopting the lifestyle of a playboy and partier to obscure his true identity.
Rounding out the group are Master Sergeant Jesse Manes (St. John) and his son, Alex Manes (Blackburn), the latter of whom returned from an overseas tour of duty with both physical and emotional injuries. What Alex doesn’t know is that his father is overseeing a huge government conspiracy.
Like people everywhere, the residents of Roswell are not immune to fear, hatred, and the politics of division. These elements all put Max, Isobel, and Michael at risk of exposure and wreak havoc on Max’s relationship with Liz, while endangering all of their lives.
Series Finale:
Episode #52 — How’s It Going to Be
Doubting her abilities, Liz calls for reinforcements, meanwhile, Isobel shows Max a memory, one that will put him on a new trajectory and Michael makes a promise to Alex.
First aired: September 5, 2022.
What do you think? Do you like the Roswell, New Mexico TV series? Should this CW TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I love this show…Can’t wait for new episodes!
WOW. Great show, love the story line and the characters. RENEW for another season. Just watched the whole first season in one day.
Awesome series! Just renew it!
I really enjoy Roswell and I hope it is renewed. I enjoy alien shows. Love it !
I recorded all episodes and watched Malex every day. It was good finally seeing 2 guys (non stereotyped) get together on TV. Knowing now it’s ultimately not going to work, I have erased all and will not be watching again. Thanks for nothing!
Love this show!!!!!
The show is missing content, context, continuity and fluidity; borrow a writer from Supernatural or Pretty Little Liars. The actors are all good. The politics should be eliminated; people want to suspend their belief and forget real life. The ending episode was not good. That Michael went to the barista Maria instead of returning to Alex who was willing to die with him in the blown up facility ruined what could have been a good scene between them. Max dying and probably not dying left a conundrum. What is the point in bringing Rosa Ortecho back? and do you explain/deal… Read more »
Renewed reported by tvline dot com
The CW’s entire freshman class is officially graduating to the 2019-20 TV season: Rookie series All American and In the Dark have both been renewed for Season 2, TVLine has learned.
They’re joined by Roswell, New Mexico and The 100, which were also picked up on Wednesday for Season 2 and Season 7, respectively. With those four renewals, The CW is officially bringing back its entire scripted lineup, including all of its newbie series. Ten other shows — including The Flash, Riverdale, Charmed and, well, everything else — received additional seasons back in January.
