The sci-fi drama, which is a spinoff to Doctor Who, will air a ten-part run following an international partnership between the corporation and US premium network Starz Entertainment.

Russell T Davies will continue to write the series. It has also been revealed that plots are to go beyond Cardiff to locations worldwide.'

If it’s anything like Children of Earth, bring it on I say...

That was excellent.

Tried to watch a few of the regular episodes. Wasn’t quite my cup of tea I guess.

It wasn’t a bad show but I didn’t like all the pro-homosexual content.

Jack will be back. But Gwen is the only crew left other than her husband. A couple of characters were introduced in Children of Earth and survived who could appear but I haven't heard anything about that.

I don't have Starz so it'll probably be a wait before BBC America gets them, like with the first series.

Alright, more gays in space.

Sad when I can’t watch a sci-fi program with my kids because all the guys are shacking up together and all the girls are as well.

I wonder if this means you won’t be able to watch it on the internet, or see it on BBC America.

I’m guessing Starz wants to force people to buy their premium service here in America to watch.

There’s also an American version of Torchwood that’s supposed to be coming out. I wonder if this circumvents that?

While I understand your situation, having had small children at one time, Torchwood is not geared toward children anyway. It is an adult show.

COE seemed to be some other story that they tried to shoehorn the Torchwood characters into.

I kind of like the idea of them traveling around earth instead of staying in Cardiff

This article suggests that this announcement is the "americanized" version:

Americanized Torchwood not so American after all

This is the new Torchwood, and it will be set partly in America. The first question asked is about U.S. and International based story lines.

The good thing about it being on Starz is that we will be seeing 60 minute episodes I think.

I love Captain Jack’s attitude about defending this planet. He is ruthless.

On the other hand, this older article says that Russell T Davies was working with Fox Broadcasting for an American version of Torchwood. Since RTD is now on board with the BBC/Starz production, I'm guessing this Fox stuff fell apart.
