Torchwood creator Russell T. Davies has insisted that the show's fourth series is not a reboot.
The new ten-part run, subtitled Miracle Day, will air on BBC One in the UK and Starz in the US.
"It's been off air for a couple of years and actually that shows on-screen," Davies told AOL Television. "But importantly for fans, there's not a glitch. It's literally the same show."
However, the writer admitted that he is keen to attract new viewers to the show.
"With a new channel and a new start, it could be brand new for you," he said. "There are new characters... who know nothing about Torchwood. They're like the new... audience. [New viewers] can all come and join in. Part of the legend of the first episode is digging up the mystery of Torchwood."
He also revealed that the final episode of previous mini-series Children of Earth was intended as a possible series finale.
"Children of Earth sort of ended in disaster, death and tragedy and that could have been the end," he explained. "We literally thought if that [series] hadn't worked, we'd be sitting here mourning and still crying [at] something [that] had been killed in its prime. It was a nice, decent ending if it needed to be, [but] thank God, it's come back."
