Roswell‘s legacy still looms large, two decades later.
The series, based on the Roswell High YA books by Melinda Metz, debuted on October 6, 1999. Shiri Appleby, Majandra Delfino, Colin Hanks and Nick Wechsler played high school teens in Roswell, New Mexico, who befriended a trio of teenage alien-human hybrids, played by Katherine Heigl, Jason Behr and Brendon Fehr. Tension ensued as the human teens tried to keep their new friends’ alien origins a secret while a government investigation threatened to expose them all.
The show ran for two seasons on The WB and one on UPN before airing its series finale on May 14, 2002. A Roswell, New Mexico reboot starring Jeanine Mason and Nathan Dean Parsons aired on The CW between 2019 and 2022.
Appleby and Behr both made cameos in the new series but played different characters than their OG Liz and Max.
