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.

Notes

  • Andrew Cartmel has stated that he will be writing an episode for season 4, calling it "The Jinx" and for it to be broadcast on BBC one. This is yet to be confirmed [3]

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.

Rumours

Series 4 itself is still, at the moment, unconfirmed.
