The CW announced six new pilot orders on Tuesday, including the “Roswell” reboot from “The Originals” alum Carina Adly MacKenzie.
The untitled reboot, which will also be based on the “Roswell High” book series, follows the daughter of undocumented immigrants who returns to her hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, and discovers that her teenage crush, now a police officer, is an alien. 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.
