The War Between the Land and the Sea focuses on the military organization UNIT. According to the synopsis, an international crisis erupts when a terrifying and ancient species emerges from the ocean and dramatically reveals itself to humanity. With the entire population in danger, UNIT springs into action as land and sea wage war.
Doctor Who (2024) showrunner and executive producer Russell T. Davies co-wrote the spin-off with Pete McTighe and sees the return of the Sea Devils, classic Doctor Who (1963) villains who first appeared in 1972. This comes after the spin-off was first hinted at in the episode '73 Yards', the fourth episode of season fourteen of the revived Doctor Who (2024) era.
Doctor Who (2024) spin-offs — all set in The Who-niverse — have been in the works since Davies returned to the franchise and Disney+ came on board. Last year, Davies told GQ that it was "time for the next phase" for Doctor Who.
The premiere date for The War Between the Land and the Sea will be announced at a later date.
