Teaser Trailer for the DOCTOR WHO Spinoff Series THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA — GeekTyrant
Disney+ has released the teaser trailer for the upcoming Dotor Who spinoff series The War Between The Land And The Sea , which is about sea creatures. The new show was teased at the end of the recent season of Doctor Who , and it centers on the emergence of an underwater race of humanoids called Sea Devils. This looks like a wild show, one that I didn't see coming from the Doctor Who franchise. In the story, "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 step into action as the land and sea wage war." The War Between the Land and the Sea is 'a British sci-fi miniseries created by Russell T Davies for BBC One and Disney+. Part of the 'Whoniverse' franchise, the series is set to feature UNIT as they attempt to prevent a war caused by the return of sea creatures. 'UNIT must take action to stop a global war once an ancient species, called the Sea Devils, emerges from the sea revealing itself to humanity.' The series stars Russell Tovey as Barclay and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Salt, along with Jemma Redgrave, Alexander Devrient, Ruth Madeley, Colin McFarlane, Adrian Lukis, Patrick Baladi, and Vincent Franklin. The War Between The Land And The Sea will be coming to Disney+ later in 2025.

The ‘War Between Land and the Sea' Trailer Gives Earth a Battle the Doctor Can't Stop
The Sea Devils return, and there's not a Time Lord that can save us, in the new 'Doctor Who' spinoff. With the conclusion of the latest season of Doctor Who, all eyes are on what's next for adventures in time and space… and when, exactly, we'll be getting them. But before the Doctor returns, Earth is going to have to stand alone in a new spinoff miniseries, The War Between Land and the Sea. To mark the climax of Doctor Who's 2025 season, today the BBC revealed the first footage from War Between Land and Sea, which will see UNIT as the front line of defense when the Sea Devils—a race of aquatic reptilians who have existed on Earth since the dawn of time, hiding their advance civilization in hibernation alongside their other distantly affiliated ancient Earth dwellers, the Silurians, for millions of years—emerge from hiding and make themselves known to the Human race. How do things go? Well, you could tell by the title of the miniseries alone that the answer to that is seemingly 'not well'—and without the Doctor to fall back on like they've been able to the last couple of times the Sea Devils and Silurians alike tried to emerge, it's up to humanity to find away to counter the threat of Earth's ancient reclaimers… and if not co-exist with them, survive their wrath. War Between Land and Sea will feature several familiar faces from Doctor Who. There's a few returning characters, including Jemma Redgrave, Alexander Devrient, and Ruth Madeley reprising their roles in UNIT as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, Colonel Ibrahim, and Shirley Ann Bingham, respectively. In more of a deep cut, Colin McFarlane will reprise his role as General Austin Pierce from the third season of Torchwood, Children of Earth. But, as seen in the trailer above, the series also stars two Doctor Who favorites, but as entirely new characters. Loki's Gugu Mbatha-Raw played companion Martha Jones' sister, Tish, throughout the third season of Doctor Who, and is now a mysterious vanguard of the Sea Devils' return, while Being Human's Russell Tovey previously appeared in the 2007 holiday special 'Voyage of the Damned' as Midshipman Alonso Frame, now plays Barclay, a human who has seemingly been tasked with leading humanity's response. The War Between Land and the Sea will run for five episodes when it hits the BBC in the UK, and Disney+ internationally, some time in 2026.
