Torchwood writer John Fay has claimed that the upcoming fourth season will be the most ambitious yet.
He told Syfylove that creator Russell T. Davies was keen to move the series forward with new ten-part saga The New World.
“Like anything in life, you can rest on your laurels or you can try to push on again and achieve something new,” he said. “That is what Russell has done. On Children of Earth he had a very clear and defined vision, but what he has outlined for The New World is equally, if not more ambitious than before.”
Fay confirmed that the new episodes will relaunch and reboot the show.
“We are started from scratch to some degree,” he admitted. “But what helps us is we have got such well established characters in Jack (John Barrowman) and Gwen (Eve Myles) that people know and love.”
He added: “Obviously Torchwood is an established show with a clear history which we will refer to, but we [also] have to embrace people who maybe haven’t seen [it] before.”
Torchwood: The New World will air in 2011 on BBC One in the UK and on Starz in the US.
