Season four of Roswell, New Mexico will premiere Monday at 8pm on The CW. After reluctantly returning to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, the daughter of undocumented immigrants 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. LGBTQ characters include Air Force veteran Alex Manes (out bi actor Tyler Blackburn), alien drifter Michael Guerin (Michael Vlamis), alien Isobel Evans (Lily Cowles), and Forrest Long (Christian Antidormi). Roswell, New Mexico: Monday, 8pm on The CW.
