Loki star to lead new Doctor Who spin-off series from showrunner Russell T Davies
Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Russell Tovey 🍰will star 🏅in the new miniseries

The War ꧒Between the Land and the Sea, a new Doꦡctor Who spin-off, is officially in the works. The news was announced during the Doctor Who panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, which saw the Doctor and Ruby Sunday actors Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson and showrunner Russell T Davies in attendance.
The new miniseries is set to follow UNIT, the fictional military organization that appears throughout ꦚthe original show. Per the spin-off's official synopsis, "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."
Loki's Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Being Human's Russell Tovey will lead the cast of the miniseries, alongside Doctor Who alumni Jemma Redgr🎶ave and Alexander Devrient, who will reprise their roles as UNIT Commander in Chief Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Christofer Ibrahim.
Dylan Holmes-Williams, who directed the Doctor Who season 1 episodes '73 Yards' and '澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dot and Bubble,' will he🎐lm the new series, with filming set 🦄to kick off next month.
"I’m so lucky toꦆ work with such a magnificent cast," Davies, who's on board as s💝howrunner, writer, and executive producer, said in a statement. "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."
