Roswell, New Mexico will start airing on ITV2 this month…

The rebooted version of Roswell will finally get underway in the UK this month. ITV2 has picked up Roswell, New Mexico and assigned it a June 22nd premiere date at 8pm.

Jeanine Mason, Nathan Parsons, Michael Trevino, Lily Cowles and Michael Vlamis star in the series, which is completing its season 2 run over in the US this week.

Here’s a synopsis:

Roswell, New Mexico is set in the infamous town that, more than maybe anywhere else on Earth, is ground zero for those who seek proof that aliens exist. Roswell native Liz Ortecho left it all behind 10 years ago, after the death of her beloved older sister, Rosa. But with her father ailing, she reluctantly returns to her tourist-trap hometown to move back in with him. When Liz arrives, she reconnects with Max Evans, her teenage crush who is now a Roswell police officer. Their chemistry is instantly electric. But Liz soon discovers a shocking truth: Max is an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life, along with those of his otherworldly siblings, Isobel and Michael.

“Meanwhile, a long-standing government conspiracy spearheaded by Master Sgt. Jesse Manes, along with the politics of fear and hatred that run rampant in Roswell, threatens to expose Max and his family, and could endanger his deepening romance with Liz… as well as their lives.”

And here’s a trailer for season 1:
