Roswell actress Shiri Appleby gives fans major nostalgia by sharing snap with co-star Jason Behr

Roswell star Shiri Appleby provided fans with some major nostalgia on Friday, when she shared a recent photo of herself with co-star Jason Behr.

‘Just trying to brighten your day. Sending love from Jason and I [alien emoji] #Roswell’ wrote the 41-year-old actress to her more than 166,000 Instagram followers.

Behr and Appleby played star-crossed lovers in the WB science fiction drama that premiered in the fall of 1999.

Roswell lasted a total of three seasons – two of them on the CW and the final season on WPN.

The series, inspired by the conspiracy theories surrounding the famed Roswell UFO incident, centered around the complex relationship between humans and aliens.

Appleby played the role of Liz Parker who, in the series’ pilot episode, experienced first-hand the ‘extraordinary gift’ wielded by fellow teen Max Evans (played by Behr) and others like him.

After saving Parker’s life during a disagreement gone wrong, Evans is eventually forced to confess the truth of his existence, which includes outing those around him who are also alien life forms.

The cult classic also starred Grey’s Anatomy alum Katherine Heigl, Colin Hanks, and Hollywood veteran William Sadler.

The show stemmed from the popular young adult books Roswell High written by Melinda Metz.

After 61 episodes, Roswell came to a dramatic close in May of 2002, when UPN decided to cancel the series.

Roswell came in direct competition with the network’s other popular series Buffy The Vampire Slayer starring Sarah Michell Gellar, but could not hold onto viewership like Buffy.

Nearly twenty years later, the CW spawned the spin-off series Roswell, New Mexico, which premiered in January of 2019.

Since wrapping Roswell, Appleby has gone on to star in a plethora of acclaimed television and film projects, including the Lifetime series Unreal and the Tom Hanks-led film Charlie Wilson’s War.
