Brendan Fehr and Majandra Delfino's TV pilot 'Baron + Toluca' to screen on July 14
Majandra Delfino and Brendan Fehr created the TV series, "Baron + Toluca." The series reunites the "Roswell" co-stars nearly 30 years after they worked together on the 1990s series. A screening of the "Baron + Toluca" pilot will take place on Friday, July 14, at the South Broadway Cultural Center.
Brendan Fehr and Majandra Delfino worked together in the 1990s on the TV series, “Roswell.”
It was during the pandemic that the pair got the idea to create a project of their own – “Baron + Toluca.”
With a plan now in hand, Fehr began crowdfunded money to make the TV pilot.
On Friday, July 14, the pilot will get a screening at the South Broadway Cultural Center.
“It’s a TV pilot,” Fehr says. “We have some unfinished business as we’re in the process of pitching the series and trying to sell it.”
The series will tell the story of exes Jake Baron and Toluca Mendez, played by Fehr and Delfino respectively.
The pair finds themselves reunited in a familiar part of New Mexico – much to the delight of one and horror of the other.
Forced together by unforeseen circumstances, they must remain there together, to try and unravel a paranormal mystery threatening to kill them both. That is if they don't kill each other first.
Production took place in Roswell, Belen and Corrales.
Fehr says a skeleton crew filmed in Los Angeles to get some of the shots there.

“The fans have responded and we’re pushing towards making this thing even more real,” Fehr says.
Fehr says “Baron + Toluca” does have some “Roswell” Easter eggs in it.
“We thought those elements were really important,” he says. “ ‘Baron + Toluca’ is something you can watch over and over again. If you liked ‘Roswell,’ this is something that falls in the same area.”
Fehr moved to New Mexico while he was part of the cast of “The Night Shift,” which aired on NBC for four seasons.
He says that the series ended without a deserving ending.
“Networks aren’t giving a series enough time to capture an audience,” he says. “This is why we wanted to do the pilot independently. The fans helped out with contributions. Some of them even were on set working as production assistants.”
Fehr spent months raising money and often would go live on social media to interact with fans.
It was a lot of work and hopes to not have to do it again.
“But it does make it a little sweeter,’ he says. “When you see that the pilot is ready for us to share.”
