"ER" alum Mekhi Phifer has signed on to star as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson.

According to deadline.com, Matheson is "a fast-tracked high-flyer with a lethal sense of humor who starts to feel his mortality when his life is put in danger."



"Torchwood: The New World" is not a remake or a reboot, it continues where Season 3, "Torchwood: Children of Earth" left off.

Showrunner Russell T. Davies clarified: "It's very much the next step. It's not a new version, it's not a reboot. We're simply moving countries."
