- James Marsters has stated he would like to return as John Hart for the new series. [11]
- 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.
- Daniel Fienberg indicated on Twitter that "The New World" will be the overall title for Series 4. He also jokingly referred to the series as "Gates of Heaven", "Badlands", and "The Thin Red Line", based on the titles of Terrence Malick movies, as "The New World" is also the title of a Terrence Malick movie. He later apologized for the confusion.[12]
