Flush with new cash thanks to The Walt Disney Company, Doctor Who is getting another spinoff. The BBC and Disney+ have ordered The War Between The Land And The Sea, a five-part spinoff series starring Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw alongside existing Doctor Who stars Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient.

The War Between The Land And The Sea focuses on military organization UNIT. Per the logline, when a fearsome and ancient species emerges from the ocean, dramatically revealing themselves to humanity, an international crisis is triggered.

With the entire population at risk, UNIT steps into action as the land and sea wage war. Doctor Who showrunner and executive producer Russell T Davies wrote the spinoff with Pete McTighe (A Discovery of Witches) and it features the return of the Sea Devils, classic Doctor Who villains first seen in 1972.

It comes after the spinoff was alluded to in the 73 Yards episode, the fourteenth episode of Season 14 of the revived era. The series, announced at Comic-Con, marks the latest spinoff for the classic British sci-fi property.
