A press release confirms Torchwood's American home on the BBC funded network - which is, apparently, having something of a makeover right now (with more British shows than ever before being shown). As well as Torchwood, there's "Life on Mars", "Hustle" - and a little gem of a show (!) called "Hollyoaks". Well, if it's good enough for Kelsey...
Torchwood forms part of "Supernatural Saturday" - alongside other current British sci-fi hits including Hex and Steven Moffat's "Jekyll" remake. There's also another chance to catch Torchwood-themed "Doctor Who" season two, if you want...
No precise broadcast details have been announced, but who cares! At last we've got a home; on a channel that hopefully won't cut the show to pieces in the edit suite! If anybody out there has further updates, just post them below and I'll be happy to make amends to this original post.
Torchwood's coming America!

Finally! Captain Jack is my favorite character on Dr. Who. I have been watching and waiting for this news since before Torchwood even began airing over there. I've been reading your blog to get a glimpse and have been so completely jealous that I couldn't watch it right along with you.
Torchwood is coming to America!
I had a feeling they wouldn't be able to get Sci-Fi to bite. BBC America is way further up the dial but of course better than nothing.
Now If only I had friends and family who actually got that station they would then have a clue about what I've been writing about all this time.
So does this mean a complete series one dvd box set may be right around the corner?
Yeah I'm kinda disappointed Sci-Fi channel didn't get it. BBC America doesn't seem to be very "big" in the US :(
Anyhoo, speaking of a America I just thought I'd post this link to an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=584200 it's a cute article written by JB's sister Carole about shopping with him in the Cardiff TESCOs.
Thanks Grace, much appreciated!
Sounds like the pair had a great time in Tesco's!
It ig great the Torchwood is coming to the US. CBC in Canada just announced last month that they will be showing it in the Fall. Of course they are showing series 3 in June, so slightly out of order, but it is all good.
You're welcome jackharkness ^_^ I hope this makes the show gain many more fans... while it being well know and relatively popular back home is good for us Brit Whoodies it having fans elsewhere provides us with more friends to talk to and more fanfiction, fanart etc. to enjoy ^_^
Yes very few folks get BBCA or if they do, don't watch it much. But that said, 'The Office' made it's US premiere on BBCA and became a big hit over here, so who knows. Plus BBCA doesn't edit shows down as much as Sci-Fi.
The real good news is that a US R1 DVD set will come along shortly after the BBCA run. Which of course makes a great gift.
