Much like Captain Jack Harkness himself, Starz and the BBC’s upcoming Torchwood: Miracle Day continues to be a big old tease. They’ve already released one video teaser for the series, and now, here’s a second that lays out the premise a little more plainly:

Still no footage with the cast, or even a crew behind-the-scenes. We know that there are a lot of guns – if the teaser poster is any indication – and that’s about it. Here’s the synopsis that was just sent out, though:

The series, featuring Bill Pullman and Mekhi Phifer as well as John Barrowman and Eve Myles (stars of the original BBC cult favorite), begins with a day when nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep aging, they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t be a natural event - someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as C.I.A. agent Rex Matheson (Phifer) investigates a global conspiracy.  The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking, “What is Torchwood?" he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human, forever.

So yeah, nothing new. However, with the premier rapidly approaching (July 8th at 10PM) we expect we’ll be seeing more of ol’ Randy Jack – and Gwen Cooper, we GUESS – sooner, rather than later. Stay tuned to MTV Geek for news, cause we like this stuff. It’s in the name.
