When former HBO chairman and CEO Chris Albrecht took over as president and CEO of Starz in January, he set out to beef up the premium cable channels original programming lineup with period dramas and imports from across the pond.
Starz showed off three of those shows at the annual TCA summer press tour Saturday– "Camelot," "Torchwood: The New World" (pictured) and "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena."
Two of Starz new projects, "Torchwood" and "Camelot," have a distinctly British flavor.
"Torchwood: The New World," which follows the members of an organization dedicated to defending the Earth from aliens, originated as a spinoff of "Doctor Who" on the BBC and BBC America.
