The new writing team for the fourth series of Torchwood has been confirmed, and it includes names familiar to a number of US-produced series.

Russell T Davies, Torchwood‘s creator, head writer and executive producer, will be joined by Doris Egan, Jane Espenson, John Fay and John Shiban. They will share the writing duties with Davies – who has already written the first episode – for the rest of the 10-part series, which is a US/UK.

In 2005, Davies was responsible for the successful revitalising of the BBC’s long-running science-fiction drama, Doctor Who, which Torchwood is a spin-off from. He is also responsible for a number of other well-known dramas, including Queer As Folk, The Second Coming and Mine All Mine, as well as a second Who spin-off – The Sarah Jane Adventures, which stars Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith.

Egan has already worked on House and Dark Angel, Espenson on Battlestar Galactica and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Shiban on Supernatural and The X Files. Fay has already written for Torchwood, sharing some of the writing duties with Davies on its third series.
