Big Finish has surprised fans with a special announcement: Torchwood will be returning to Big Finish with a second series, come March 2016. This revelation may come as a surprise to Torchwood fans given Big Finish has just released their first Torchwood series, Torchwood: The Conspiracy – this new series, however, will actually be released only a month after the first series concludes with its final installment.

The new series will feature six audios which follow Captain Jack Harkness (played by John Barrowman) and the Torchwood team during various points in Torchwood’s colorful history. The series will also feature a new theme composed by Blair Mowat, who also designed the theme for The Doctor Who Fan Show and has worked with the man himself, Murray Gold on Doctor Who.

With the Torchwood series a near certain success, the new series was a natural development according to the staff at Big Finish Productions, citing the fun the crew had in the making of their first series.

“I couldn’t really imagine that the response to our Torchwood series wouldn’t be positive so I’m very pleased not to be proven wrong.” says co-executive producer of Big Finish Productions (and voice of the Daleks!), Nicholas Briggs.

He continues: “The series has so many dedicated followers and the audios have been written, directed and produced with such love for the source material. James Goss, as producers, has brought so much enthusiasm and joy to the project. I find myself hoping every day that I’ll receive another excited email from him.”

This new, second series of Torchwood is currently in pre-production. You can subscribe to purchase the new series at a bargain price now: £45 on CD, £40 on download.
