Here’s a preview of what’s sure to be another wild ride for the staff at Party Down!

At this point, fans of the the Starz original series are unsure if there will be a third season (although I’m hoping that changes soon), so this could very well be a series finale.

Be sure to tune in to Starz tonight at 10 pm.

I first got wind of the glorious news via Maureen Ryan’s blog, The Watcher (@moryan on Twitter), which revealed:

“Russell T Davies, who created the “Doctor Who” spinoff in 2006, will be back as “Torchwood’s” showrunner, John Barrowman will star as Captain Jack Harkness and Eve Myles will return as Gwen Cooper.”

The Hollywood Reporter’s Life Feed quickly followed with an interview with Russell T. Davies, which revealed a taste of what we can expect:

“It’s very much the next step. It’s not a new version, it’s not a reboot. We’re simply moving countries. The show was previously a format show — monster of the week. The breakthrough was “Children of Earth” and that it became one long story. It’s not going to be ‘Lost’ and take 20 years to find out what’s going on. It’s going to have a most remarkable conclusion after 10 episodes.”

It wasn’t long before Torchwood star John Barrowman tweeted (via @Team_Barrowman):

“TORCHWOOD IS COMING BACK! I am on cloud nine and thrilled with this news.”

This Televixen is ecstatic that Torchwood is finally getting its fourth season AND that Eve Myles is going to be part of it. Gwen has always been my favourite character on the show, and although I probably would have still checked out a Torchwood without Eve Myles, I think it just wouldn’t be the same for me. I’m also happy that us fans can put our worries at rest that a Torchwood on a major US network could result in a less risque series. Oh, and please please please can we NOT have any appearances from the Eleventh Doctor? Despite my best efforts, I’m just not feeling the same vibe from Matt Smith that I got from Christopher Eccleston and the incomparable David Tennant.

So, who else is having a Happy Monday as a result of this news? Sound off with your thoughts below!

After waiting nearly a year, it’s making its DVD debut tomorrow, April 6th! In addition to all 10 Season 1 episodes, the 2-disc set boasts fun bonus features, including gag reel, outtakes and a behind the scenes look.

If you haven’t seen Party Down yet, what are you waiting for? After all, you only have a few weeks to catch up before its April 23rd return on Starz Network.

For those who have never seen or heard of Party Down (something that you must remedy immediately), it’s about a group of creative types – actors, screenwriters, comedians – that pay the bills by working for Los Angeles catering company Party Down, under the leadership of recovering addict/budding entrepreneur Ron Donald (portrayed by Ken Marino, best known to Veronica Mars fans as PI Vinnie Van Lowe).

With a talented ensemble cast that includes Lizzy Caplan, Martin Starr, Jane Lynch, Ryan Hansen and Adam Scott, this show easily rivals greats like 30 Rock, right down to the revolving door of brilliant guest stars, which have included JK Simmons, Steven Weber, Molly Parker and even Marilu Henner!

Tonight is the season finale, and Kristen Bell – yes, Veronica Mars herself – guest stars! Here’s a clip:

The Season Finale airs tonight at 10:30 pm on Starz.
