True Blood alum Nathan Parsons, Lily Cowles (BrainDead), Michael
Vlamis (New Girl), Tyler Blackburn (Pretty Little Liars) and Heather
Hemmens (If Loving You Is Wrong) are set as series regulars opposite
Jeanine Mason in the CW pilot Roswell, a reboot of the cult sci-fi
series with an immigration twist.

Written by The Originals scribe Carina Adly MacKenzie and directed
by Julie Plec, the reimagined Roswell, like the original, is based
on the Roswell High book series by Melinda Metz. It hails from
Amblin TV, Bender Brown Prods and Warner Bros. TV.

Reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, NM,
Liz Ortecho (Mason), a jaded biomedical researcher and the daughter
of undocumented immigrants, is haunted by a tragic incident. She
discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a
police officer: He’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities
hidden his entire life. 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.

Parsons will play Max, a natural born leader and dedicated Roswell
police officer who has kept a secret for years, concealing his
origin and unearthly abilities. Cowles will portray Isobel. Polished
and restrained, Isobel wasn’t meant for small-town life, but she
lives it with all the grace and enthusiasm she can muster in order
to keep her true origins a secret. Vlamis is Michael. Troubled but
brilliant, he survived a violent childhood and now is secretly
driven to find a way to escape Earth and the humans who have failed
him, to return to a mysterious home he’s never known.

Blackburn is Sgt. Alex Manes. Returning home from the Middle East
after experiencing his fair share of psychological and physical
trauma, Alex aims to adhere to his father’s expectations, abandoning
his dreams and the possibility of a future with the man he loves.
Hemmens will play Maria, Liz’s fun, free-spirited former best friend
and social media maven who is oblivious to the realities of Roswell.

Parsons, who was a series regular on the final season of HBO’s True
Blood, most recently booked a recurring role on ABC’s Once Upon a
Time, and he can be seen as the lead role in the indie Western
Justice directed by Richard Gabai. He’s repped by Creative Partners
Group & Innovative Artists.

Cowles recurred as Germaine Healy on BrainDead. She’s repped by
Industry Entertainment.

Vlamis appeared on New Girl and Simi Valley. He’s repped by CAA and
Grandview.

Blackburn starred as Caleb Rivers on Pretty Little Liars and
recurred on Ravenswood. He’s repped by Gersh.

Hemmens stars on Tyler Perry’s If Loving You Is Wrong and next can
be seen on the Paramount TV series Yellowstone. She previously was a
series regular on Hellcats for CW. She’s repped by APA and Primary
Wave Entertainment.

Have never heard of any of them since I never watched any of the
shows they were on. But then, I never heard of any of the original cast
either.
Interested to see how the show plays out.
