Star-Crossed
Two worlds. Two lives. One hope.
Created by Meredith Averill
On The CW
A high school romance drama built on interspecies forbidden love and political tension, where an alien boy's integration into a human school ignites both passion and conflict.
Passion and politics threaten the peace and an epic romance ignites between a human girl and an alien boy when he and eight others of his kind (The Orion 9) are integrated into a suburban high school 10 years after they and hundreds of others landed on Earth and were immediately consigned to an internment camp where they’ve been imprisoned ever since.
