Starz CEO Chris Albrecht has revealed that Torchwood may not be picked up for another season.
Albrecht told reporters at the TV Critics tour that the sci-fi drama's future is dependant on the schedule of series creator Russell T. Davies.
"Torchwood is not one of the shows we went into thinking about a yearly return," he explained. "It's about Russell T. Davies [because] he has a lot of things on his plate. If Torchwood is at the top of his list, that will effect the future of Torchwood."
Davies is currently developing a new drama series named Cucumber with Showtime, it was announced last month.
However, the showrunner previously told Digital Spy that he was having second thoughts about leaving Torchwood.
"I say [I'll quit] at the beginning of every year and then I get to the end [of the series] and I love it again," he explained. "So I don't know. It is time that I moved on and did something else, but we'll just see how well [Torchwood: Miracle Day] does."

Torchwood Feature Film??
John Barrowman has claimed that he'd "love" to see Torchwood adapted into a feature film.
The 44-year-old echoed comments made by his Torchwood: Miracle Day co-star Eve Myles in saying that an epic big-screen battle between Captain Jack and invading monsters would be the next logical step for the sci-fi franchise.
"I'm not going to talk about the future of Torchwood beyond where we are, but if I said I wouldn't love to have Captain Jack on the big screen, I'd be lying," PA quotes Barrowman as saying.
Barrowman recently commented that he is glad that Torchwood has taken on a more psychological approach to sci-fi than its "sister show" Doctor Who.
The Scottish-born star also claimed that half of Hollywood's well-known crop of actors are secretly hiding the fact that they are gay.

Gwen Cooper Mirrors Eve Myles
Eve Myles has disclosed that she relates to the family struggles that her Torchwood character Gwen Cooper endures this season.
The Welsh actress explained that she was adapting to motherhood and coming to grips with her parents' failing health while filming scenes of Gwen attempting to save her family in Miracle Day.
"Torchwood seems to be mirroring my life somehow this year. Gwen's got a young child, and I've got a 16-month-old baby girl, so I had to move my entire family over here to pursue this," Myles told TV Guide. "Then something happens with Gwen's family, and my mother had a heart attack while I've been away, and my father has cancer."
Myles continued: "Everything happening in the show's story seems to be happening in my life, so it's a bit peculiar. But there's a light at the end of the tunnel for everything, I believe. And Torchwood has just absolutely rocked this year."
Myles also teased that much of the drama in the first episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day centres on Gwen's attempt to justify her desire to eradicate hostile aliens against her responsibilities as a new mother.
"The last time you saw her, she was six months pregnant, and now she's got a 6-month old. She went into hiding with her family as soon as Jack disappeared [in Children of Earth] and when we resume, you find her living in the most remote part of the world, this tiny little cottage on the edge of a cliff, no roads in to or out of it," the star revealed.
"They are self-sufficient, growing all their own food. What we find out is that this idyllic chocolate box is completely kicked up to the hilt, armed with every weapon known to man including a rocket launcher, every kind of missile, knife, gun, anything. She's prepared for war. She's hysterical. Life is really only idyllic for Rhys."
Myles previously claimed that she'd "absolutely" be willing to star in a feature film version of Torchwood.

Gwen and Jack Do Love Each Other!!!
Torchwood star Eve Myles has insisted that her character Gwen "loves" Captain Jack (John Barrowman).
The actress told TV Guide that the pair share "an unspoken love" in new series Miracle Day.
Myles said: "It's... the sort of love that will never be explained. It's a respect, it's old roots, it's a partnership so special and wonderful and, most important, [it] completely works."
She added: "They fix each other, and because of that, they need each other."
Myles also revealed that viewers will initially see Gwen in a "strange, lost, quiet and suppressed state" prior to Jack's return
"As soon as Mr. Big turns up with his swishy coat and his vehicles and guns and helicopter, she couldn't be happier," she joked.
Myles also claimed that Gwen has a "wonderful" relationship with CIA agent Rex Matheson, played by new cast addition Mekhi Phifer.
"They're like raging bulls against each other," she said. "[Rex] does something to Gwen in the very first episode [and] it's unforgivable. And then they are forced to work together!"

Bill Pullman has admitted that he "jumped at" the chance to appear in Torchwood: Miracle Day.
The actor told Xfinity that he was excited by the possibilities of his role as child killer and paedophile Oswald Danes.
Pullman said: "The quick description of him, a paedophile murderer, doesn't sound good, but that's not his essential condition. Yes, he begins there, [as] the most reviled person for doing the most heinous crime. But then... I become the pivot person who suddenly gets reborn."
Pullman added that Danes will discover a "whole new life" over Miracle Day's ten episodes.
"I set off on a journey to discover who I really am," he said. "So he's a very rich character."
Pullman also insisted that Miracle Day is a "continuation" rather than a reboot.
"Even in its three years, [Torchwood] was always changing and growing," he said. "And now it's morphed into our show, and just because we're going global there's no disconnect with the old show and characters. I think fans of the old show will get it right away."

Eve Myles Excited About US Filming
Eve Myles has revealed that she was thrilled to learn that Torchwood would be shooting in the United States.
The Torchwood: Miracle Day star confessed that she was stunned to learn that the sci-fi series would be moving to Starz and filming in the US, according to an interview with Collider.
Myles said of her initial reaction to the news: "I was a bit gaga. Literally, I was silent for about two hours. I was told, 'You have to keep it to yourself.' I was thinking, 'I've just had the biggest news of my life.'
"I had my little baby looking at me and I had my dog and my partner, and he was like, 'Well?!' And I said, 'I'm going to go do some washing up. I'm going to wash up some dishes, I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to have to have a think about things. It's just too much to actually vocalize.' So, I came down after about two hours and I literally hopped around with excitement for about 40 minutes."
Myles stated last week that she understands fan frustration at the show's UK airdate, claiming that no-one intended to take away the show from its original fans. Torchwood: Miracle Day first airs in the UK a full six days after its premiere in the US.
Torchwood: Miracle Day will premiere on Friday, July 8 at 10pm on Starz in the US and on Thursday, July 14 at 9pm on BBC One in the UK.

Torchwood Will Not Alienate Fans
John Barrowman has insisted that new Torchwood series Miracle Day will not alienate fans of the show.
The actor told the Boston Herald that the sci-fi drama "picks up right where it left off".
Barrowman said: "We're still the same edgy Torchwood [and we] still have the edgy characters and storylines that people seem to like. It wasn't like a shock to the system [for us, and] our really core audience are not going to feel that [either]."
Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack Harkness, also claimed that he is not worried how new viewers will react to Torchwood.
"I don't worry about that," he said. "I know in my heart we've made a good show."
He added: "You know what, not everybody is going to like it, but I hope we get a bigger audience than what we've had before."
Torchwood: Miracle Day begins on July 8 on Starz in the US and on July 14 on BBC One in the UK.

UK Fans Not Happy, And I Can't Blame Them!!!
Torchwood star Eve Myles has claimed that she understands fan frustration at the show's UK airdate.
US viewers will be able to watch the first episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day on Starz on July 8, but UK viewers will have to wait an additional six days to see the same episode on BBC One.
Myles (Gwen Cooper) told The Hollywood Reporter: "We never, ever, ever wanted to take this show away from the original fans. What we always wanted to do with the show was give them a gift every year, something wonderful, a big, big present.
"It works out that it will be a week after the US showing, and obviously we have nothing to do with that, me nor John [Barrowman] or [showrunners Russell T. Davies and Julie Gardner]."
Myles also promised that Miracle Day will be "the best, best series yet" and encouraged fans to "hold on tight".
"I'd just like to remind them that they're our fans," she said. "We want them to sit back and enjoy it, be proud of it like we are, and to stick with us. If it was up to me and John, we'd have it to them straight away. But it's not."
Myles also argued that UK viewers have "waited long enough" for a new series of Torchwood.
"These people have waited just over two years for this next season," she explained. "I'd like to say that if I had something to do with it that this wouldn't be happening. But, sit tight, because it is a fantastic ride."
Torchwood: Miracle Day will premiere on Thursday, July 14 at 9pm on BBC One.

Star Trek Meets Torchwood......
John de Lancie has revealed details about his character in Torchwood: Miracle Day.
The Star Trek actor will play a recurring role in the sci-fi drama, it was announced in April.
"I'm a recurring character in the final three episodes of the series," he told SFX. "My character is CIA, very gruff, [and] unimpressed by the 'Torchwood clowns' as he'd call them."
De Lancie, best known for his role as Q in the Star Trek franchise, added that the new season of Torchwood still has a "British" feel.
"My sense is the show is still quite British," he said. "It has, mostly, an American crew, but the sensibility of it, led by Russell [T Davies], is very British."
He also claimed that Miracle Day is "completely different... to Star Trek" and that his role involved "no technobabble".
"It's someone's future, potentially real," he explained. "I enjoyed that."
Torchwood: Miracle Day will air in July on BBC One in the UK and on Starz in the US.
