Shiri Appleby Returns to "Roswell, New Mexico" as Director

"Roswell, New Mexico" is billed as the second adaptation of Melinda Metz’s book series, rather than a remake of the 1999 show "Roswell", which aired on The WB and UPN for three seasons. Accordingly, the new show has forged its own narrative path in its eight episodes to date, introducing new relationships, timely political commentary and an original murder mystery.

The season’s ninth episode, airing Tuesday on The CW, will feature the show's biggest nod to its predecessor yet, as original series star Shiri Appleby returns to the fold as director.

Appleby first threw her hat in the ring for the job last summer, while doing press for the fourth and final season of her Lifetime drama "UnREAL".

“Reporters were always asking me what I thought of the reboot, and i just said ‘I can’t wait to direct it!’” she tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I thought that was a good way of putting it out there, and letting them know I’d be happy to come join the team.”
