Torchwood: The New World is now known as Torchwood: Miracle Day. And we’ve got plenty of new details about it.
A host of new details about Torchwood's upcoming fourth season have been released, starting off with its brand new name. Previously known as Torchwood: The New World, the show's fourth run will now go under the moniker of Torchwood: Miracle Day.
The show's creator, Russell T Davies, revealed that The New World was always a holding title at the US press launch for the show that took place at the end of last week.
Furthermore, new details surrounding the plot of Miracle Day have now surfaced too. And if you don't want to know what the outline story is, then look away now.
It's being reported that the show will kick off with Bill Pullman's character being given a lethal injection for his crimes. Only for him to survive. From the official press release, then:
"The plot of Miracle Day is the most explosive Torchwood storyline yet. One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging - they get hurt and sick - but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It's said that in four months' time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can't be a natural event - someone's got to be behind it. It's a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking "What is Torchwood?", he's drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever."
The shoot for the show, which will see the return of John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness, is due to start in Los Angeles tomorrow. We'll keep you posted...
