Template:Pre-broadcast spoiler
A fourth series of Torchwood has been "greenlit" according to interviews given by John Barrowman in late November 2009.[1][2] It has not yet been officially announced by the BBC as of 1st December 2009. No production schedule or broadcast dates have been announced by the BBC. Russell T Davies is expected to continue as producer despite having left this position with Doctor Who (based upon comments made by him at the San Diego Comic Con in August 2009), however this has yet to be made official by the BBC.
On 19 January 2010, the Hollywood Reporter and other American media reported that Russell T Davies, Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter are planning to launch an American version of Torchwood for the Fox network which might involve some of the original cast. The nature of this series, and whether it will be a spin-off tying in with Torchwood and Doctor Who continuity, or a standalone Americanized remake (in the same vein as the American versions of Davies' Queer as Folk and BBC Wales' Life on Mars) is unknown. Nor is it yet known what impact, if any, this may have on production of a fourth series for the BBC.[3] As of April 22nd, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has decided not to pursue an Americanized version of the show, although BBC is looking at several other interested networks.[4]
In an interview with Jonathan Ross on 5th February 2010, Barrowman would not commit as to whether there will in fact be a fourth season.[2]

According to Barrowman, Series 4 will be a "full 13 episodes" in length.[1]
Rumours
Series 4 itself is still, at the moment, unconfirmed.
- Gwen Cooper, Rhys Williams and Andy Davidson will return.
- Lois Habiba, Dekker, John Hart and Johnson may return. [source needed]
- Martha Jones and Mickey Smith may appear. [source needed]
- The Weevils return. [source needed]
- Midshipman Alonso Frame from DW: Voyage of the Damned and DW: The End of Time, could appear, but as of early 2010, nothing as being confirmed [6]
- Gwen Cooper may be working 'freelance' with Martha and Mickey before recruiting them to Torchwood on Jack's return [source needed]
- Several requests have been made that Ianto will somehow be revived to return in the show. Russell T Davies has confirmed Ianto is staying dead, and that is just the way it is: Torchwood is a drama.
- Johnny and Rhiannon may appear. [source needed]
- Torchwood Three will not retrieve the SUV, strengthened by the fact that the SUV used for filming was sold at an auction at Bonhams on 24/02/10 for £18,000.
Broadcast Dates
The BBC has not, as of April 2010, announced a broadcast date for the series. Given that the BBC tends not to make such announcements until soon before broadcast, any statements suggesting a 2010 or 2011 broadcast must be taken as speculative for the time being.
