First Look at 'The War Between the Land and the Sea': Doctor Who's Exciting New Spinoff

Hey, Whovians! Guess what? There's a new Doctor Who show in town, and it's all about UNIT - the Unified Intelligence Taskforce. Let's dive into the exciting world of "The War Between the Land and the Sea"!

What's the Buzz About?

Remember when BBC teamed up with Disney? Well, that partnership is bringing us this awesome 5-episode special about UNIT. It's like getting extra sprinkles on your favorite ice cream - more Doctor Who goodness for everyone!

From Rumor to Reality

Back in March 2023, we heard whispers about a UNIT-focused Doctor Who spin-off. Then, at San Diego Comic-Con last July, they spilled the beans on the title and plot. Now, we've got even more juicy details and our first sneak peek!

Meet the Star-Studded Cast

Russell T Davies, the show's big boss (or showrunner, as the fancy folks say), just dropped some exciting news on Instagram. The cameras are rolling, and we've got our first look at the amazing cast:

Jemma Redgrave (aka Kate Stewart)

Russell Tovey

Ruth Madeley (surprise addition!)

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Alexander Devrient

Austin Pierce (remember him from Torchwood?)

A Blast from the Past

Ruth Madeley is back as Shirley Anne Bingham, UNIT's brainy science advisor. We first met her in the 60th Anniversary Special, "The Star Beast." And guess what? Austin Pierce is dusting off his General Austin Pierce uniform from the 2009 Torchwood spin-off!

What's the Story?

Ever wondered what happens when the Doctor's not around? Well, this show's got your back! It's all about UNIT holding down the fort when things get weird. And boy, do they get weird!

The big baddies this time? The Sea Devils! These scaly troublemakers first showed up way back in 1972, and now they're back to cause more chaos.

When Can We Watch It?

Hold your horses, time travelers! We don't have an exact date yet. But don't worry, we'll keep you posted faster than you can say "Allons-y!"
