Disney+ and the BBC have commissioned a new 5-part miniseries titled The War Between the Land and the Sea. This new series, written by current showrunner Russell T. Davies and returning writer Pete McTighe, will primarily focus on UNIT as they face a new threat from the Sea Devils, a classic Doctor Who monster first seen in 1972.
The official description of the series reads.“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 steps into action as the land and sea wage war.” The series will be available exclusively in the US on Disney+.

What happens when the Doctor is not in town?
The series will star Jemma Redgrave, who will be reprising her role as fan favorite character Kate Stewart as well as Alexander Devrient’s Colonel Ibrahim, who was introduced in the 2023 Doctor Who specials. In addition, the series will feature Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in undisclosed roles. Fans may remember these actors for their roles in earlier seasons as Titanic midshipman Alonso Frame, and Tish Jones, but it has not been confirmed if these actors will be reprising these roles or playing new characters.
