Winter TV Preview: 30 Notable New & Returning Shows

Debuts January 15 on The CW. It's a semi-reboot of Roswell, the cult series which ran for three seasons on both The WB and UPN at the turn of the century. Like the prior show, it's an adaptation of the Roswell High novels by Melinda Metz. The new series centers on slightly older characters, including the daughter of undocumented immigrants (Jeanine Mason, Grey's Anatomy), who relocates to her hometown and discovers that her one-time crush (Nathan Parsons, The Originals) is secretly an alien of another sort. (The space kind.) And he's not the only one. This new adaptation comes from Carina MacKenzie, a writer on The Originals.
