“It is Doctor Who’s love letter to the States. Last year started with the Tardis crash-landing on Big Ben in London and that was an opportunity for British audiences to be reminded of [the show’s] British heritage. But this year, it’s all about America. It’s all about taking the show out to the States and seeing what Doctor Who will feel like set in America and in some very iconographic parts of the…landscape.” – Piers Wenger talking to Collider.

 

As well as the next season of Doctor Who having episodes set in America spin-off series Torchwood will return for a fourth season next year which will also be set in America. Torchwood: The New World will see John Barrowman and Eve Myles reprise their respective roles with new American cast members joining the series for a ten-part story.
