A number of rumours have surfaced surrounding casting for the upcoming transatlantic series of Torchwood.

Entertainment Weekly claims that former One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray may be up for the role of funny-but-tough CIA agent Rex Matheson.

Also under consideration is Enver Gjokaj, who starred as Victor in Joss Whedon's recently cancelled series Dollhouse.

The final piece of casting news is that Greek actress Amber Stevens is thought to be first choice for the role of another CIA operative called Esther Katusi.

The upcoming fourth series of the Doctor Who spin-off - a co-production between the BBC and US network Starz - is scheduled to air next summer.
