Torchwood wasn’t “cancelled” – but it’s no longer running as a regular series. At Comic Con this weekend, they talked about the fact that the mini series was so popular the BBC is likely to ask them to do it again and if they do, it will mostly likely be in that same miniseries format.

I just finished watching “Day 5″ of The Children of Earth mini-series. I have been searching the web to have a question answered, which led me here.
Is this it? – Is Torchwood cancelled and over with? The ending of Day 5 kind of wrapped it all up, tying up loose ends and killing off most of the main characters… Hopefully someone out there has the answer, and I hope I am wrong and there is a new season around the cornor…b/c I totally love Torchwood – (and Dr. Who!).

Cynthia, be that as it may, you’d think they’d get the information right, and not have to be corrected by fans!

Makes me wonder who actually writes those things, since true fans can spot the mistakes quite easily and quickly…..

Either way though, I’m glad to see something like this from BBC America. I can’t wait to see the new series when it airs next month…..

Courtney and Pam — right as you may be — the information posted came straight from BBC America! LOL.

Nice article! Can’t wait for the new season, and I’m really glad to see your listing shows that the run time will include the full episode. As a devoted American Torchwood fan, I was worried that the version we’d get in America would be cut down to fit into the time slot. (Though it’s odd that the encore episodes will only be an hour long…)

Just to be an ubernerd (and please feel free to read this in your best “geek with no life” voice), John Barrowman actually reprised the role of Jack Harkness, not in the second season of Doctor Who, but in its third and fourth seasons’ climactic episodes. In the third season, the episodes were “Utopia”, “The Sound of Drums”, and “The Last of the Time Lords”; in the fourth season, the episodes were “The Stolen Earth” and “Journey’s End”.

Just a note: John Barrowman didn’t appear in series 2 of Doctor Who. He did appear in episodes 11-13 of series 3 however: Episodes: ‘Utopia’, ‘Sound of the Drums’, & ‘Last of the Time Lords’. He was also in episodes 12 & 13 of series 4, ‘The Stolen Earth’ & ‘Journey’s End’.

As for where Torchwood is located: That depends on which one you’re referring to: One was in London, Two is in Glasgow, Three is in Cardiff, & no one’s really sure where Four is….they haven’t heard from them in years…..
