Torchwood Miracle Day is the first season of a new Starz/BBC co-production but actually the fourth season (or series as the Brits refer to them) of the Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood. In Miracle Day the British production is taken to America and has added a lot of Americans both in front of and behind the camera. The plot of this new season is that one day everybody stops dying. Anyone who should be dead just will not die. They’ll remain injured, to extremes, but will not die no matter what. This is not only an incredible mystery, but it also sets off a chain of events as if no one in the world is dying there will be repercussions. Joining Torchwood veterans of Jack Harkness (Barrowman) and Gwen Cooper (Miles) are CIA agents Rex Matheson (Phifer) and Esther Drummond (Havens). Also prominent players in this new world without death are Oswald Danes (Pullman), a convicted pedophile and murderer who’s death sentence could not be carried out and Dr. Vera Juarez (Tur).
