Torchwood Renewed for 3rd season – sort of…

News from the BBC: Captain Jack Harkness will be back with more adventures in 2009 as Torchwood got the green light for more new episodes.

But in a disappointing turn for Torchwood fandom, the “season” will consist of only five new episodes, which begin filming in August.

This announcement comes after series creator Russel T. Davies said that after in 2009, he would be leaving BBC Wales, where he produces Torchwood as well as the newly invigorated Doctor Who series and spin-off Sarah Jane Adventures.

Doctor Who also is affected by Davies’ departure. It will have only 4 episodes in 2009 – which are being aired as specials on the BBC. There is no news whether Sci FI Channel, which airs Doctor Who in the U.S. will pick up those four specials next year.

In the United States, the five new Torchwood episodes are expected to air on BBC America beginning in January or February 2009.

Torchwood to get HDTV showing in the U.S.

torchwoodTorchwood, the sexy and dark Doctor Who spin off for adults is set to premiere in standard-def square TV on BBC America (no, not the Sci Fi Channel) September 8 at 8 p.m. ET.

But for those with high-definition TV, who want high-def action, will have to wait a week to see it on HDNet – the cable and satellite channel for HDTV.

 HDNet will show Captain Jack and his scooby gang Mondays at 7 p.m., 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. eastern time, and 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Pacific in full 1080i wide-screen format.

Torchwood renewed for second season

The BCC announced Tuesday that freshman sci-fi series “Torchwood” will be back for a second year, but will switch channels in the UK to BBC Two.

(This series is not yet shown in the United States)

The network says new episodes are scheduled to be filmed in the Spring of 2007 and should be ready for air in the UK by autumn.

Currently finishing up its initial 13-episodes on BBC Three, Torchwood is the darker, grittier spin-off of the UK’s storied “Doctor Who.”

The series, created by Russell T. Davies (“Queer as Folk”) stars openly gay actor John Barrowman as the lead, Captain Jack, a man who cannot die.

The BBC said the series is the highest-rated show in the history of BBC Three.
