Doctor Who fans, get ready for an exciting ride as showrunner Russell T. Davies spills the beans on the highly-anticipated spin-off and Christmas special that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
In a recent interview, Davies revealed some juicy details about the upcoming mini-series titled The War between the Land and the Sea. Brace yourselves as the formidable Sea Devils make a comeback, ready to stir up some serious trouble. Remember them from the classic episode “Doctor Who and the Sea Devils?” Well, they’re back, and this time, they’re taking on Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor.
But wait, there’s more! The star-studded cast of the spin-off includes fan favorites like Jemma Redgrave, Russell Tovey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alexander Devrient, and Ruth Madeley. And let’s not forget about Vincent Franklin, known for his stellar performance in Gentleman Jack. Stay tuned as more talented actors join the lineup soon.
The official synopsis of the series promises a gripping storyline: “When a fearsome and ancient species rises from the depths, putting humanity in peril, UNIT springs into action as a war between land and sea unfolds.”
In an exclusive chat with an entertainment portal, Davies couldn’t contain his excitement as he shared behind-the-scenes tidbits. The cast and crew are knee-deep in filming and can’t wait for fans to witness their hard work on screen.
In a twist of fate, Davies revealed that filming is taking an unconventional approach, with all episodes being shot in one big block. This means that an actor could make their debut in the final scene of the last episode – talk about keeping us on our toes!
And the cherry on top? Davies is aiming to wrap up the entire series by Christmas, delivering a gift to fans around the world. Brace yourselves for the Christmas Special episode, where Ncuti Gatwa returns as the fifteenth doctor, sharing the screen with Bridgerton sensation Nicola Coughlan.
