Torchwood: Miracle Day Premiere Set and Teaser

What if nobody died? It might sound like a great idea but TVLine reveals that the Torchwood team discovers the reality of immortality is a lot darker than the ideal.

Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies explains the concept for Torchwood: Miracle Day,

“Not a single person on Earth dies” Torchwood boss Russell T. Davies recently explained. “The old stay old. It’s great news for some people, but globally it’s an instant population boom. Earth relies on people dying. Suddenly you’re affecting everyone on the planet. That’s where the Torchwood team comes in.”

People not dying might be big news for the gang at Torchwood, but this season brings even bigger news for the fans. The fourth season of the sci-fi hit makes its U.S. debut on Starz when the season premiere arrives on Friday, July 8th.

It will be easy to notice the difference in the new show right away because the team will be leaving Cardiff for an extended stopover in Los Angeles, and Captain Jack (John Barrowman) and Gwen (Eve Myles) have a few new faces are joining the team.

Mekhi Phifer (Lie to Me, ER) is taking the third lead spot as CIA agent Rex Matheson, Alexa Havins (All My Children, Grey’s Anatomy) will be adding another CIA face to the cast, and Lauren Ambrose has signed on as a PR expert.

Just so people don’t start to think that everyone from the U.S. is a good guy who works for the CIA, Bill Pullman (Lake Placid, Independence Day) is hopping on-board as a murderer who managed to avoid prison.

The players are all in place so now we just have to wait for July 8th to hurry up and get here.
