Deadline has got its hands on some info about the new BBC/Starz Entertainment Torchwood series, The New World.

Not only will it be filming in Cardiff AND Los Angeles – an interesting combination – the more “Americanised” spin will add three new faces to the team. CIA agent Rex Matheson, Agent Esther Katusi and (newest addition) surgeon Vera Juarez will join Barrowman’s Jack and Eve Myles Gwen in Earth-defending adventures.

Only Suarez has any casting rumours currently circling her, with Crash actress Arlene Tur on the internet’s digital lips. Meanwhile, Barrowman has been gabbing about the new show to Chris Moyles on Radio 1: “It’ll be worked out where we’re doing the chunk of filming in the Cardiff area prior to going out and then we’ll film our chunk in Los Angeles. I’m very excited.”

We’re glad to see Barrowman back in Torchwood where he belongs – not that we didn’t enjoy Desperate Housewives, mind.
