John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness
The long awaited return of Torchwood will be over when Torchwood: Children of Earth airs on BBC America in a five-episode mini-season. John Barrowman, who plays Capt. Jack Harkness, promises it will be worth the wait when the series returns on July 20 for five consecutive nights. And word is, if it does well, we could expect more.
"The story, without giving any inkling of what happened, the story is incredible," Barrowman said. "It's darker. It's filled with a lot more action. There's revelations about Jack that are just going to make people, ... let's say, ... crap themselves because they're so shocking. There's things that happen to each and every one of the team that will just blow your mind. It is a huge, big roller coaster, and there's one thing ... [producer] Russell [T. Davies] said this the other day in the panel, so I'm not saying, I think, anything that is out of line. But he said, 'It shows you how things in our life can be disposable.' And he's not just talking about trash. He's talking about individuals."
In the first episode, all the children on the Earth suddenly stop. Torchwood soon discovers an alien threat is behind it all. Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles), Ianto Jones (Gareth David-Lloyd), Rhys (Kai Owen) and PC Andy (Tom Price) all return for the third season. Torchwood: Children of Earth will be the first series on BBC America to be simulcast in HD.
But will there be more Torchwood?
Barrowman said, "That could happen. In fact, I had a discussion the other day with Russell. We were doing a panel, ... showed the first episode at the National Film Theater here in London with an audience of viewers and what we call punters, and we did a panel question thing afterwards. One of the things we came up with, we said, "If this does well, we could come back for [season] four," which I would love and hope that we do. I said—and as Russell said—it could be two events, three events, but done in what we find the stories work over this five-day period as a one-off thing, but we could do maybe two events or three. So then you would get the full amount of episodes."
This is great news to me and all other who love Torchwood. Give us lots more!
Following is a new extended trailer for the mini-series.
