TV Guide’s William Keck has posted some cool new exclusives about new characters being cast for shows, but what caught our eye the most was the excerpt about Torchwood, which will have a new series on the Starz channel next year.
Starz’s new season of Torchwood is shaping up with the search for one series regular and two supporting roles. Rex Matheson is a white, twenty-something CIA agent who sounds sort of like FX’s animated Archer spy: a fearless, cocky thrill seeker. Recurring characters 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. Rex — catch this sicko!
Sounds interesting. And he may be older than “forty-something” but may I suggest John Glover as the murderer/pedophile? Anything to see “Lionel Luthor” on our screens again, and if he’s acting against Barrowman, even better.

Sounds a lot more CSI than Torchwood. Where are the aliens, man? The time travel??
Since when do TORCHWOOD deal with paedophiles? Unless of course he’s an alien and what’s with the onslaught of CIA characters, Are they going to “rescue and sterilise” TORCHWOOD like they did with The A-Team all those years ago?
