Roswell, New Mexico just announced original 1999 cast member Jason Behr will feature in the 2019 rebooted series.
To break it down: Roswell originally aired between 1999 and 2002. Last year, The CW rebooted the series and premiered season one of Roswell, New Mexico in January this year.
Now, Jason Behr – who played alien in disguise Max Evans in the original series – will be joining season two, but his new role is currently ‘top secret’, according to Entertainment Tonight.
When the original show aired, the character of Max Evans was a high school student. But in Roswell, New Mexico, the character has joined the Chaves County Sheriff’s Department.
Executive producer Carina Adley MacKenzie said: ‘We’re very excited that Jason will be joining us for a multi-episode arc.’
She added: ‘It’s only fitting that he’s playing a (currently top secret) character with deep ties to Roswell, New Mexico’s history.
‘Working with him has already been such a special experience for all of us – particularly when [Roswell co-star] Shiri Appleby was on set to direct him.
‘I was such a huge fan of Roswell as a kid, so having their stamp of approval – not to mention their expertise and advice – has really meant the world to me, the cast and the crew,’ she added.
In April, the series was renewed for a second season.
Jason was nominated for two Saturn awards for his role in Roswell. In 2004 he had a starring role alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar – who he had previously worked with for one episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer – in the horror film The Grudge.
It was on that set that he met his wife, KaDee Strickland, the star of Secret And Lies, and the pair now have a baby boy.
The premise of the show is based on the conspiracy theory of an alien spaceship landing in Roswell in 1947.
