It's still in the early stages. I wouldn't expect any news until the end of the year or the start of the new year, if we hear it's undergoing casting or whether it's been picked up to pilot. January to April is prime pilot season! They have to make their decisions for the upcoming season by mid May!
I personally think it would be on the lower end of the chances of proceeding to the schedule unless the script and pilot hits it out of the park. Because CW doesn't have many holes right now. And because of the success of Riverdale, they want to look at doing a Sabrina - the Teenage Witch remake, made more scary which would be more in the vein of what is on television now! But then it will be different, Roswell. So it might make it. Hard to know. But then remakes are the thing right now. CBS going to sacred territory with it's newly announced Magnum PI reboot, when the reason the original was a hit because of Tom Selleck! So I don't know how CBS thinks it can it redo it. It seems to be in the vein of the original, but yet very different... __________________

People they lack the idea's sometimes, or sometimes the imaginative might not connect with the audience in this era. So they are going with the familiar, brand loyalty or just plain reboots of old idea... Because if the audience goes in at least knowing the premise, they might stick.
Also with streaming, Netflix and all the possibilities to create television now... You need product, so why not go back to tried and true... Or with shows like Roswell, the show is a cult classic but was not a hit, so they could redo it completely and maybe get a new audience because the original audience was not (they think) that big of a pool to offend or turn off... Now if they were to redo West Wing which got Emmy acclaim or Gilmore Girls with a new cast, and the same characters. You would get a revolt! If they are going to reboot Roswell, and not make it a continuing chapter. At least follow the books. Not completely disregard it and only keep that Liz was Hispanic, and it was set in New Mexico and the love interest was a alien with powers... This will be a disaster. There was something magical, despite the flaws, with the original show. You can't recapture that... __________________

I totally agree! I still have mixed feeling over the Gilmore Girl reboot I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. It did have some great stoylines but some stoyrlines were all over the place especially with certain characters and it felt odd.
Sure I can understand a show or movie paying tribute to a movie or TV show but to do a remake makes no sense to me. Superman you can exband on because we didn't see Clark Kent in his high school years so Smallville made sense. But I am getting tired of remakes and reboots there was a reason why they are called classics leave them alone! Sure they might not of been perfect but they were perfect to us! Those shows were timless and that is why they can never be redone. I can just imagion if they ever decided to do a Buffy reboot remake forget it the fans would riot faster then Vampires taking over Sunnydale! Now a days I wish people would come up with your own ideas. Dream discover do something original! __________________

TV critic Jasmine Blu is focusing on the fandom’s conflicted feelings of the ‘reboot’:

I am glad some articles are coming out about this topic.
However I still feel you can't touch a classic! No one else could play these characters! A twist you say I call this reboot a new show that needs a new name! Oh and Carina MacKenzie who is writing this reboot aka new show her responces in this article are all taken from her Twitter account! https://mobile.twitter.com/cadlymack?p=s Article from Crashdown .com What Do We Know About The CW’s New Alien Show?

I think "re-imagining" is much more appropriate. The press is often lazy and slaps labels on things without even thinking. A reboot to me, is when you take something specific and like...charge it back up again - ie. Gilmore Girls.

Yes Gilmore Girl was a continuation of what their life would be like 10 years later. So that was interesting. Yes that was a reboot because we were reentering the world 10 years later and things were different but still the same.

Nothing new. But Netflix poached the Sabrina the Teenage Witch "horror" remake from CW. So I don't know where that leaves the idea of a Roswell remake. Better or worse. I haven't heard much... Since it might be more in CW's wheelhouse now...
But probably won't until early in the new year if we hear it's been picked up for pilot, or hear some word on casting... I still think it's a bad idea if it's not going to be a tie into the original generation or so... And if you're not even going to be able to show some of the big Roswell tidbits. Like tabasco sauce... But time will tell! __________________

Good news is: New cast, new story, new everything sooooo it has NOTHING to do with Roswell...just the town. I'm a bit relieved tbqh. They won't mess up the original...and it better not be called Roswell either.

I am hoping it's a dead issue and dies faster then the Jelly Fish monster in the Hybrid Chronicles!

I love it! Yes lets invade and take over if it does happens! Green shields up and Mind Warps on hand.
It reminds me of this scene from Ask Not! Michael: I'm not just gonna sit around and do nothing like we've done all summer. Max: We've been having this conversation for months. What are we supposed to do? Michael: You're our leader. Why don't you lead us? Max: Fine! Crack some more rocks. __________________
