Will there be a ‘Torchwood’ season 5?

While it never reached the commercial and critical heights of Torchwood: Children Of Earth, this year’s long-awaited fourth season of Torchwood: Miracle Day, appears to have been a solid enough success.

Granted, it’s proven quite divisive in terms of reaction to the show, but the UK ratings have been solid, and Starz made noises along the lines that it would be happen to fund another outing for Captain Jack and his team.

Yet, as always seems to be the case with Torchwood now, there’s some doubt as to when we’ll see Jack and Gwen again, if at all. Mainly because of silence from all concerned. That’s appreciating that Miracle Day left things on a bit of a cliffhanger, teasing a further adventure. As of yet, though, no further adventure has been confirmed.

This is generally unusual in American television, where a new season tends to be announced reasonably quickly. But then Torchwood isn’t a ‘usual’ show. As Starz had pointed out earlier in the year, a new Torchwood story is in the hands of Russell T Davies. And right now, Russell T Davies is also developing a new show with Showtime in the US, Cucumber, a drama about gay men.

How Starz feels about Davies producing a different production for Showtime is something we’re in no position to shed light on, but the impression we’ve been left with is that, were Davies to say yes to more Torchwood, more Torchwood would happen. Okay, it’s never that simple, but he seems to hold the lion’s share of the cards here, if not the money itself.

    John Barrowman said he would definatley do another series if he was aked. and i cant see RTD kicking jack. jack pretty much IS torchwood. i think that would be where i would stop watching.

      Yup I agree, if they take Jack away Torchwood would not be worth watching Jack makes Torchwood

    I agree the Starz series was slow moving. 10 episodes to get to “that” conclusion. It does have an American air. And I’m American. I miss the British version. I think Starz just ruined it. I was fine with the “creature/monster of the week” format. What happened to the “rift”? This has just become an adult drama with sci-fi sprinkled here and there. Bring back the real Torchwood!!!

      Eve didn’t make a statement on this. This is from an editorial on Den of Geek.

    This might sound unfaithful to some of you, but I had my fill of Torchwood with the third season/series, Children Of Earth. With the fourth series, Miracle Days, there were times when I had to force myself to sit and watch parts of an episode, others when I fast forwarded some scenes for two main reasons: 1) not much of a fan of the “American” flavor of the story, 2) to me, the story was wa~y over-stretched, so slow paced, so not like torchwood pace that I’m used to and like very much. The one and only thing that kept me watching series 4 is Gwen’s hilarious reactions and gestures that Eve through in every now and then. I mean, IMHO, Eve’s performance in the Torchwood hilarious department’s peaked there! =D

    That was just my two cents…

      Pardon my honesty, but I meant every word there. And to clarify a bit more, by the “American” flavor I meant “less honest humane, wisdom and logic, and more hormones and greed”; that’s how I’ve seen the media over there over the last twenty-five or so years, and it’s gradually got more aggressive halfway through.
      Again, pardon my honesty! ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌

      Same here. The entire show has been great since series 1. Fingers crossed for a 5th series.
