It's a dramatic formula that's popular with the public and sells well
So were gladiator battles, I'm just sayin'.
The rest of it is what would have to happen. The overlap between Starz and BBCA is doubtless miniscule; they'd have to start over to explain everything - an explanation that will doubtless retcon the Hub and Rift away (which I am a bit bitter about, as it was The Whole Point for two seasons). And considering where they are, of course they'd get American actors.
But considering what Torchwood was and what it's become (and certainly in view of where it started on Who) - why not just slap a new name on the damned thing and be done with it? When the Hub blew, we went from Torchwood to The Sequel.
