More Torchwood Series 4 Details

Fresh after the fourth series announcement yesterday, comes an article over at the Hollywood Reporter which reveals a few details on what to expect from the new Torchwood.

The president of US TV network Starz, Chris Albrecht, said that the new series would have a larger budget and also explained where the story would be picking up.

“Well at the end of “Children of Earth,” Torchwood was destroyed, so when we pick up in our world the need for Torchwood arises again. A lot of this story takes place in the U.S. as well with several characters that are in the U.S. intelligence forces and end up teaming up with Gwen and Captain Jack to deal with the situation at hand.”

While series creator Russell T Davies added, “It’s very much the next step. It’s not a new version, it’s not a reboot. We’re simply moving countries. The show was previously a format show — monster of the week. The breakthrough was “Children of Earth” and that it became one long story. It’s not going to be ‘Lost’ and take 20 years to find out what’s going on. It’s going to have a most remarkable conclusion after 10 episodes.”

The fourth series is expected to air Summer 2011.
