After the Roswell series, Fehr and co-star Majandra Delfino came up with the concept for a series called B+T or Baron + Toluca, which Delfino calls a "spiritual successor of Roswell". A short promotional video was released in 2016 to get a network to pick up the show. Entertainment Weekly describes the premise:[1]
- Jake Baron (Fehr) and Toluca Mendez (Delfino), former teen actors from an alien sci-fi show. (Sound familiar?) The premise of B+T is that when reunited as adults, the two are forced to work together to solve a paranormal mystery in New Mexico that’s threatening to kill both of them. Just as Maria and Michael had a love-hate-love relationship, so do Baron and Toluca.
Despite several online campaigns to get a company such as Netflix to pick it up, the series has yet to make it to production. An Indiegogo fundraiser goal of $100,000 was met on October 23, 2020, ensuring that a pilot episode will be made sometime in 2021.
