'Torchwood' Set to Return This Fall

The final season of "Torchwood" aired in 2011, and fans of the "Doctor Who" spin-off have been awaiting a revival of the series ever since. Well now, you'll get the chance to learn what the gang have been up to for the last four years, as Captain Jack Harkness will be donning his suspenders and saving the world once again in the upcoming series of audio plays from Big Finish.

"Torchwood has been to the moon, and America, and the Himalayas, but now I think it's finally coming home, to the brilliance of Big Finish," show creator Russell T Davies, said of the audio dramas.

Each episode in the six episode series will focus on a different member of the team and the repercussions that a mysterious incident has on them, eventually reuniting the whole team for future stories. The first episode will center around Captain Jack, with John Barrowman returning to the role.

As of now, no other cast members have announced their participation in the audio series; but after years of championing the shows return, it won't be too long before official cast announcements are made.

"The Conspiracy," the first episode in the series, is set for a September 2015 release and is available for pre-order.

'Tales From the Darkside' Reboot Returning to the CW?

It looks like the days of television horror anthologies like "The Twilight Zone" and "Tales From the Crypt" will be returning soon. While both of these shows have been long rumored to return, it appears that the CW is looking to reboot George A. Romero's 1983 series "Tales From the Darkside," a spin-off of the "Creepshow" films.

Deadline reported earlier that Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and Joe Hill, are partnering with the CW to bring about the return of the show. Writer Joe Hill is no stranger to the world of horror, as he made an appearance as Billy in the original "Creepshow" movie. Oh,  his father is also the master of terror himself, Stephen King.

Kurtzman, Orci and Hill previously teamed up on a television adaptation of "Locke & Key" for Fox, however it never moved farther than the order for a pilot. While it's still in the very early stages of development, we here at Paranormal Pop Culture will keep you posted on this project.

Hopefully they keep the theme song, which is almost as terrifying as the show itself ...
