- Torchwood Miracle Day, the Americanized continuing arc of the Torchwood saga aired on Starz in 2011, is set to air on BBC America this September 14. In Miracle Day; one day, nobody dies. People kept aging, hurt, sick, but their death is impossible. With zero death rate, pollution has grown worse and natural resources are drying up but it can't be a natural event. Someone's behind this and for CIA agent Rex Matheson (Mekhi Phifer), the only answer to mankind's salvation lies to Torchwood but there's little left for Torchwood as Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) is at a remote Welsh countryside with her husband Rhys and her child and the whereabouts of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) remain unknown. Pulling them out of their retirement, they are now drawn in a battle where the greatest threat to humanity is...humanity itself.
