American Version of Torchwood in Development?

American TV network Fox is developing a new version Torchwood for the U.S. The project is from BBC Worldwide Prods, with original series creator Russell T. Davies writing the script, along with an original producing team, including former Doctor Who executive producers Julie Gardener and Jane Tarnter, a BBC Worldwide Prods production vet in the US. 

Some of the current cast - most likely John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness, might star if Fox orders Torchwood to pilot. As for the new show's plot, the U.S. version will contain a global story line compared to the more localized sensibility of the first two BBC series versions. 

Torchwood is to return in the UK with a new 10-part series sometime in the future. Further details will be posted soon. In other news: Filming for the fourth series of The Sarah Jane Adventures will start in March - the series is set for broadcast this Autumn on CBBC.
