Sex Education star George Robinson has reportedly joined the cast of Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The War And The Sea, which recently commenced filming in Wales. Robinson’s casting was revealed online by Doctor Who Filming Locations.

Over the Summer, the BBC and Disney announced the first Doctor Who spin-off since their partnership, titled The War Between The Land And The Sea. The series is created by Doctor Who Showrunner Russell T Davies, who has written the series with Executive Producer Pete McTighe.

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.

Leading the five-part series is Russell Tovey (Feud, American Horror Story: NYC) and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Surface, Loki). The series will also see the return of UNIT alumni Jemma Redgrave (Doctor Who, Grantchester) who will reprise her role as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Alexander Devrient (Doctor Who, Ted Lasso) as Colonel Ibrahim.

Russell T Davies, Showrunner, Writer and Executive Producer says:

“I’m so lucky to work with such a magnificent cast. And this is a huge, muscular, thrilling drama which will shake The Whoniverse to its foundations. When the Doctor’s not in town, the whole of humanity is in trouble.”

Lindsay Salt, Director of Drama, BBC says:

“The War Between The Land and The Sea is another utterly unique and gripping drama from Russell T Davies and we’re delighted to welcome the show to The Whoniverse! Featuring a stellar cast, with Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw taking on leading roles, this brand new epic mini series will leave audiences on the edge of their seats as they watch UNIT take on one of their biggest battles to save humanity.”

Doctor Who

As we enter a new era of Doctor Who, we know that some spin-offs are on their way – and a new report on Production List suggests that one of them will begin production very soon.

An entry on the website suggests that a spin-off, titled “The War Between the Land and the Sea“, will start shooting on 4th March 2024.

The series is specifically listed as a Doctor Who spin-off and the entry states it will feature the Sea Devils. The iconic monsters first appeared in the show in the 1972 Jon Pertwee story The Sea Devils and, more recently, they returned in the 2022 Jodie Whittaker special Legend of the Sea Devils.

Production List reports that filming will take place in Cardiff, Wales, and lists Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies and producers Phil Collinson, Vicki Delow, Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner as crew members.

Davies previously confirmed that new spin-offs are on the horizon as Doctor Who enters its “next stage” after the 60th anniversary of the show.

Speaking about why it was the right time for him to return to Doctor Who, Davies told GQ:

“So I thought – with no criticism whatsoever towards the people who were running it at the time, because they were running it within the BBC’s measures – it was time for the next stage for Doctor Who.

“I thought the streaming platforms are ready, the spin-offs are ready; I always believed in spin-offs when I was there. I did Torchwood as a spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures as a spin-off.

“Those spin-offs declined when I left, and I can see why. And I very much left after 2008, when the money became scarce. I think that’s fair enough for the public service broadcaster that the money is spent on other things.”

While confirmed details on what exactly the spin-offs will include have been thin on the ground, there have also been rumours about a spin-off relating to UNIT – especially after Jemma Redgrave’s return as Kate Stewart in the 60th anniversary specials.
