Sounds like “Roswell” redux. Get Jason Katims on the phone!
Will this also be set in Roswell, NM?
GO AIMEE TEEGARDEN!!!!!
They better cast a HOT lead to play opposite her to match her beauty!!
Awesome. I love Roswell. Will Ron Moore be working on the remake?
This show sounds like it could be good. I hope The CW picks it up.
What a shame she’s not reprising her role in The Selection. Understandable, but she was the best thing about it.
Ah I do not understand! They should remake Roswell instead of picking up this new show!…But I am happy for Aimee!
Sounds like a ripoff of Roswell and I am number 4. Nothing really original left on TV these days.
I thought it would be like Roswell too, and then I read the script. There are definitely some Roswellian elements in the love triangle, but it’s actually pretty different. It reminds me of District 9 in a lot of ways actually, and then a lot of interesting things going on. Also, the title, which I thought was kind of dumb, makes a lot more sense now.
I think Malese Jow will be the star of this as well as Aimee. Including Matt Lanter…
