Hot on the heels of our 10 Things We Know about the Roswell reboot exclusive, Deadline reports that newcomer Jeanine Mason (“Grey’s Anatomy”) will play the role of ‘Liz’ on The CW series.
Reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, 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.
In addition to Mason, “Vampire Diaries” alum Julie Plec has been appointed the director of the pilot.
