Word is rapidly spreading across the Internet about a BBC press release saying that Torchwood Season 2 will begin airing on
BBC America on January 26, 2008, at 9 p.m. This was first broken by
The Futon Critic yesterday and picked up on many other sites and blogs, to the point where it is only fair to share with Firefox News readers.
This morning, I reported that the announcement had yet to show up on the
BBC or
BBC America websites. However, it has just appeared on the BBC America "
Anglophenia" blog. The January date is supposed to be very close to the premiere of Torchwood in Britain, although the
BBC Press page still does not have an announcement of the British airdate.
Hopefully this means that the release of the Season 2 boxset will be equally prompt. Region 1 viewers will not be able to purchase Torchwood Season 1 until January 22 - just time enough to have a marathon before the new start date.
