Roswell, New Mexico season 3 isn't coming anytime soon on The CW. The series has just recently kicked off filming following a hiatus due to the pandemic. Despite the delay, the upcoming installment has been sharing updates -- particularly casting news.

In a new report from Deadline, it was confirmed that David DeSantos will have a recurring role in Roswell, New Mexico season 3. The actor is going to play the character of Edgar, someone who could have a mysterious part in the lives of certain characters.

According to the character's description, Edgar is an "enigmatic leader" who intersects with the heroes of Roswell during a clandestine mission to properly understand the unknown. He comes from the army, but he has his own vision and wistful outlook on the universe.

Edgar believes that establishing and fresh and creative perspective would be the best approach in order to solve a problem. He's going to look for those who have the same belief as him, but he expects them to be discreet and loyal at all costs.

Based on the description, his mysterious nature suggests that he holds some secrets that no one knows. While he could serve as an ally to some, he could be a significant thorn to others. It's interesting to see how his presence could shake up most of the characters.

Meanwhile, another new character is coming on board in Roswell, New Mexico season 3. A previous report from the aforementioned outlet confirmed that Steven Krueger will be playing the recurring role of Heath. The character is Liz's (Jeanine Mason) ambitious colleague at a high-tech laboratory in Los Angeles.

Just like Liz, Heath cares about his job and does whatever it takes to make the world a better place. While the two don't agree with certain things, his different approach pushes her to break her old patterns and leads her in discovering new ways of looking at the worlds.

Considering Heath's ties to Liz, he could have an important role in Roswell, New Mexico season 3, albeit recurring. We've often seen the series bringing unexpected twists and turns, and his arrival could come with several revelations. It's also interesting to see whether or not his ties to Liz will progress.

The release date of Roswell, New Mexico season 3 remains uncertain as of this writing. The CW won't be releasing its usual fall programming until next year. Since the new installment has just started production in early October, we can expect the series to return at some point in 2021.
