What did Jeanine Mason have to say about the series?

Seventeen got the chance to talk to Jeanine before the premiere of Roswell, New Mexico and she opened about what fans can expect from the series and her character.

What kind of relationship do Liz and Max have?

"She has known him for always, since as far back as she can remember. She says that in the pilot and I loved that. I love that idea of people in our lives that are just extensions of ourselves. And for that reason it’s so powerful when his secret is exposed to her," she told Seventeen. "I think the most interesting thing about her being a scientist, in this iteration, is that she's insatiably curious and she would be the one person who would go, 'Oh, okay, a scientist meets an alien. Let’s experiment.' She sees Max as the person she cares for so fully. So, in that moment [when he reveals his secret] she protects him. That dynamic just broke my heart and it made me just fall in love with them. So, I hope it does that for fans, too."

Will the show have any other storylines other than aliens and romance?

"I think fans are going to be pretty hooked by the murder mystery of it all. It’s definitely a small town romance and that’s wonderful and delicious. But the vehicle that pulls us through the season is this murder mystery. And the way it unfolds, the energy in which this series takes off, by the time we get to episode 5, it’s a thriller," she revealed. "As soon as we pull at those strings, it unravels so rapidly. I hope people are ready for like a True Detective-style murder mystery because our writers brought it for real."

Will fans of the original series find some easter eggs?

"Once I got the gig, I binged it and I read some of the original book series. I just am a fangirl at heart and I was so excited to be a part of a property that is so beloved. I just wanted to be a good rep for the fans on the show and be a capable of easter-egg planter for people who are looking with attentive eyes," she said.

What is it like playing a Latinx lead who is also a scientist?

"That’s just so huge for me to be one of the few faces that are leads of a network television series and are Latinx. And, if we look even further, a Latina," she said. "I’m so proud of the progress and I’m grateful to The CW for taking on this project and being excited by how socially conscious it continues to be. I’m here for us [Latinx's], so let’s do it!"

What is Roswell, New Mexico about?

Unbeknownst to the rest of the town's locals, aliens are actually living among them and have even grown up in the town. After an accident brings up the chance of their identity being exposed, they have to do everything they can to protect themselves from the townspeople and the government.

Jeanine Mason is Liz Ortecho: Liz is a biomedical researcher who moves back home after her recent medical experiment loses funding. She is the daughter of undocumented immigrants, which she keeps a secret from everyone in Roswell in hopes to protect them.

"I like to call Liz a 'jaded Lorelei Gilmore.' She’s definitely built up some high walls around herself. She would consider herself an independent, capable woman, but what she probably is bordering more on loaner," Jeanine Mason told Seventeen. "She’s used to pushing people away who want to get too close, ‘cause she’s very wary of people. And she comes back into her small town and as she is crossing the state line into town, she runs into the one person in her life who people who would say she’s been running from this entire time. I think she is witty, and smart, and ignited. She doesn’t apologize for an ounce of her existence. And she is a strong force that is hitting a steady rock and that is Max."
