The title for Torchwood series 4 is not The new world. it is called Miracle day. it has been announced by BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and Starz Entertainment, they also have released the plot and character details."The premise is a miracle that happens to the world. That one day, on Earth, no one dies. Not a single person on Earth dies. The next day, no one dies. The next day, no one dies. And on and on and on. Now, the sick stay sick, the old keep getting older, the dying keep dying, but no one quite dies."
And at first, this seems a wonderful thing, "But globally, it's an instant overnight population boom. The Earth relies on people dying."
Davies understandably didn't want to offer too many details on how and why "Torchwood" hero Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman, who couldn't appear at the press tour session because he was acting in a play in England) comes back to our planet after running away at the end of the "Torchwood: Children of Earth" miniseries. But he did say that the notion of a world where no one can die would prove very intriguing to a man who suffers from immortality.
Of course, death has visited "Torchwood" very frequently, with Captain Jack and Eve Myles' Gwen Cooper the only original characters still extant at the start of the new season. That's much to the consternation of fans of the bumped-off characters, but Davies says he always wanted that to be a key part of "Torchwood."
On American network science fiction shows, he said, "You have a cast of 12 and they're under contract and they stay together for 7 years... If you don't know who will survive, that raises the stakes for everyone."
Also, he joked of his new American co-stars, "I thought, 'Oh, I'll get Bill Pullman in the end; I just have to make room for it."
Pullman will play a convicted murderer and pedophile named Oswald who, near the start of the 10-episode series, is due to be executed but, due to the miracle day, doesn't die. Phifer will be CIA agent Rex Matheson, a cocky guy who doesn't know much about Torchwood.
Filming is due to start filming next week
