TV GUIDE reports on casting news for the new season of TORCHWOOD the BBC and STARZ are producing.

The series plans to cast American characters. A new regular will be CIA Agent Rex Matheson: “twenty-something… a fearless, cocky thrill seeker.”

Recurring characters will include:

“Esther Katusi, a newbie Watch Analyst in the CIA who is deeply (and secretly) in love with Rex.
And Oswald Jones is the dangerous psychotic villain. He’s a forty-something murderer and pedophile who gets sprung from the slammer into the spotlight.”

John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness) and Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper) [both pictured above] are returning. Still unknown is if Gwen’s husband Rhys Williams (Kai Owen) or other of the DOCTOR WHO spin-off characters left still living after the CHILDREN OF EARTH mini-series will be featured.
