Big Finish has announced today that a second season of brand new Torchwood audio stories will be released next year.

The first instalment of Torchwood: The Conspiracy was released yesterday and Season 1 continues next month with Torchwood: Fall to Earth, starring Gareth David-Lloyd as Ianto Jones, followed in November by Torchwood: Forgotten Lives with Eve Myles as Gwen Cooper and Kai Owen as Rhys Williams. Three further releases will follow at monthly intervals.

Another six Torchwood releases are currently in pre-production for 2016, with Season 2 beginning in March, just one month after the concluding instalment of Torchwood: The Conspiracy.

Producer James Goss commented: “Everyone involved’s just had so much fun that we didn’t want to stop. And Big Finish said, “It’s okay, you don’t have to”. We’ve already got the first script in and it’s a delight.”

Co-executive producer Nicholas Briggs added: “I couldn’t really imagine that the response to our Torchwood series wouldn’t be positive. So I’m very pleased not to have been proved wrong. 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 producer, 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.’

“And we’re so grateful that the brilliant stars of Torchwood have come in to record and have been so bloomin’ good! Russell T Davies has been so supportive and full of encouragement too. Frankly, we had no choice but to get on with a second series as soon as possible.”

Season 2 will continue the adventures of Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) and his team, with stories taking place at different points in Torchwood’s history.
