Roswell executive producer Jason Katims has revealed plotlines for the first episode of the upcoming season.
The cast of Roswell
The plans were announced at Monday's Television Critics Association press tour.
Jason Behr plays Max
He said: "In the first episode, Max and Liz get arrested, and suddenly they're in real trouble, and their parents are called in.... They start to have questions about what their kids are involved in, and it's not so funny anymore.
Shiri Appleby plays Liz
"By the end of that episode, Liz is forbidden by her parents to ever see Max.... What we are sort of building by starting off that way is playing stories about these kids in context of their parents - these kids starting to realise that their parents are human beings and are people and that what they do affects them.
"I think of it being a coming-of-age for a lot of the characters in the show. A lot of what we want to do this year is expand the canvas of the show and each of the characters are sort of going in different directions."
Katherine Heigl plays Isabel
Isabel (Katherine Heigl) will find a new love interest, with the possibility of marriage on the cards.
"She's going to stay at a community college, largely maybe because of this relationship that she's formed over the summer," Katims added. "Isabel gets into a serious relationship and falls into a precipitous marriage."
Brendan Fehr plays Michael
Michael, played by Brendan Fehr, leaves school to try something new.
"Michael realises that he has spend no time investing himself in life on earth, so basically wants to build a life for himself and winds up getting a job."
Majandra Delfino plays Maria
And Maria (Majandra Delfino)? "Maria's character begins to pursue her musical career and that becomes a real thing."
Whilst refusing to confirm whether Max and Liz would get back together, he hinted at such a storyline: "Max goes on a quest to find his child and Liz goes along with him, and that quest will take him out of Roswell onto the road."
Katims, however, is committed to change in the third season.
"I think that we will definitely play with the idea of other aliens out there, but this year we want to do that in a very specific way. We're going to be very selective with that and have them play roles on a more ongoing basis that will stay sort of consistent throughout the season."
