The CW is rebooting "Roswell," a series from 1999 that ran for three seasons, based on the book series by Melinda Metz. The alien-romance starred then-young actors Katherine Heigl, Colin Hanks, Shiri Appleby, and Emilie de Raven, along with others who have continued to work in TV and film. The new Roswell will be a re-imagining of the previous series, with the role former played by Shiri Appleby described as a "woman who is the daughter of undocumented immigrants." The series will still involve aliens pretending to be humans who enter into relationships with humans.
