Access Hollywood has a first look at Torchwood which has been filming around Los Angeles for the past few months. The U.S. installment of the BBC hit series, which will premiere on Starz on Friday, July 8th at 10pm, stars John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Mekhi Phifer, Bill Pullman, Alexa Havins, Arlene Tur and, in an extended guest role, Lauren Ambrose.
Check out the sneak peek above and an official synopsis of the series below:
Torchwood begins with a day when nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging, they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it.
It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking “What is Torchwood?,” he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.
