Starz Imports Torchwood

Starz is going sci-fi. The premium cable home of Party Down has acquired the U.S. television rights to the next installment of the Doctor Who spin-off (and anagram) Torchwood. Developed and produced by BBC Worldwide, the latest 10 episodes of the British sci-fi drama will premiere stateside in the summer of 2011 while BBC One airs the series overseas. Per usual, John Barrowman and Eve Myles will star, alongside new Americans yet to be cast. [THR]
