The latest Doctor Who spin-off has begun production with a table read, and confirmation of the cast.

Ruth Madeley and Colin McFarlane will reprise their roles as UNIT’s Shirley Anne Bingham and Torchwood’s General Pierce in The War Between The Land And The Sea alongside Russell Tovey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jemma Redgrave, and Alexander Devrient.

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 first Doctor Who spin-off series between the BBC and Disney+, which is now entering production, is created by Doctor Who Showrunner and Executive Producer Russell T Davies, who has written the series with Executive Producer Pete McTighe (A Discovery of Witches, The Pact, Doctor Who). The five-part series will be directed by Dylan Holmes Williams, director of two ‘Doctor Who’ Season One episodes – ‘73 Yards’ and ‘Dot and Bubble’.
