Children of Earth redirects here until it's confirmed all 5 episodes will carry the same title.

Overview

The series will consist of one continuous story, delivered over 5 consecutive nights. The series will have a new producer: Peter Bennett. Veteran Doctor Who Director Euros Lyn will direct the entire series. The first, fourth, and fifth episodes will be written by Russell T Davies, who is also writing the overall story arc. The third episode will be written by James Moran and the second episode by newcomer John Fay. Production on this series will start in August 2008 for expected broadcast in Spring 2009, when it will air on BBC 1 in a post-watershed slot.

The only confirmed main cast members for Series 3 John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Gareth David-Lloyd, Tom Price, and Kai Owen.

At the San Diego Comic Con in July 2008, Julie Gardner confirmed that the characters of Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper really are deceased and it will not appear in the 2009 series. Lucy Cohu will play Alice, Captain Jack's daughter.

The name of the five part series was revealed in Torchwood Magazine as Children of Earth, because the story concerns all the children of Earth. The episodes will not have individual titles.

The plot involves aliens called the 456 and a deal the government made in the 1960s which has come back to haunt them, as well as the efforts of a cynical government agent named Johnson to expose Torchwood.
