James Hibberd’s The Live Feed broke the news.
“BBC Worldwide Productions and the FOX Broadcasting Company have mutually agreed not to progress together with a 13-episode serialized ‘Torchwood’ format,” BBC Worldwide said in a statement on the site. “We are currently in discussion with several interested networks.”
BBC Worldwide programming and production VP Jane Tranter also recently said a U.S. incarnation of Doctor Who is not in the works.
“It may well be confusing to have a British Doctor and an American Doctor at the same time,” she said. “There is only one Doctor, so I don’t see that happening.”
Me, I still like the idea of an American Torchwood, so it’ll be interesting to see if another network (The CW, perhaps?) bites.

Best thing to do would be just have a little bit of a reboot story wise in the UK have gwen and jack back and then make the show a little more global. Throw some americans in there if they want.
Hurray!
