At the San Diego Comic Con in July 2008, Julie Gardner confirmed that the characters of Toshiko Sato and Owen Harper really are deceased and it will not appear in the 2009 series. Lucy Cohu will play Alice, Captain Jack's daughter.

The name of the five part series was revealed in Torchwood Magazine as Children of Earth, because the story concerns all the children of Earth. The episodes will not have individual titles.

The plot involves aliens called the 456 and a deal the government made in the 1960s which has come back to haunt them, as well as the efforts of a cynical government agent named Johnson to expose Torchwood.
