| While nothing formal has yet been announced by SPACE itself, media site C21Media is reporting the Canadian home of Doctor Who has bought Torchwood: Miracle Day and will be airing it this summer, roughly around the time Starz and the BBC broadcast the 10-part miniseries.
Starz has announced a start date of July 8 and as yet the BBC has not followed suit with its broadcast launch. We look forward to the official word from SPACE, including information about when the series kicks off, though we’re of course hopeful the Canadian cable TV channel can bring viewers day & date broadcasts with the US and/or UK. In the mean time, though, we’re glad to see Miracle Day is coming to Canada! Edit: BBC Worldwide issued a press release with some further details. |

- John Shiban (“Breaking Bad,” “Supernatural,” “The X-Files”) Davis has said that the new series of Torchwood will be written in more of a “writer’s room” style, where all the writers collectively write the episodes, as opposed to each writer penning an episode or episodes on his/her own. Filming on the new Starz-BBC Torchwood series will begin in January, and will feature material shot in the US and the UK. |
