​The new U.S.-based season of Torchwood begins on Starz on July 8th, 10 pm. If you’ve forgotten what this fourth season about, let me let the press release remind you:

Bill Pullman, who portrays Oswald Danes, a former school teacher and convicted child killer, and Mekhi Phifer join “Torchwood” alumni John Barrowman (Capt. Jack Harkness) and Eve Myles (Gwen Cooper) in the series. Also joining the cast are Alexa Havins (When in Rome, Fat Girls) as Esther Drummond, a deskbound CIA employee who dreams of active duty and who suddenly finds herself running alongside Jack, Gwen and Rex; and Arlene Tur (“Crash,” Eat Pray Love) as Dr. Vera Juarez, a Washington D.C. surgeon, who finds herself on the frontline of medical care on “Miracle Day” advising the government think-tanks on the best course of action for the world’s population.
