A brand new Physician Who spinoff sequence is coming to Disney Plus

The Physician Who franchise is about to get even greater with a brand new spinoff sequence that, curiously, doesn’t seem to be it’s going to give attention to everybody’s favourite Time Lord.

Throughout the Physician Who panel at this yr’s San Diego Comedian-Con, Disney and the BBC introduced that The Warfare Between The Land And The Sea — a brand new sequence written by Russell T. Davies and Pete McTighe — is on the way in which. Quite than the Physician, the brand new present will revolve round a gaggle of people as they work collectively to face the Sea Devils, a race of historical, ocean-dwelling creatures who first appeared in Physician Who again in 1972.

Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient are set to reprise their roles as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim, respectively, however they will even be joined by Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Uncooked as characters not but revealed. Beforehand, Tovey and Mbatha-Uncooked each starred in Physician Who —he as Titanic midshipman Alonso Body, and he or she as Tish Jones — but it surely’s not clear whether or not that’s who they’ll be taking part in right here.

In a press launch in regards to the new present, Davies known as it “an enormous, muscular, thrilling drama which is able to shake The Whoniverse to its foundations,” and whereas we don’t know when to anticipate its debut, it’s scheduled to start taking pictures in August.
