Doctor Who UNIT spin-off series is officially happening

As a seasoned gamer and self-proclaimed Doctor Who enthusiast who has spent countless hours navigating the time vortex and saving galaxies from impending doom, I can confidently say that the announcement of a new UNIT spin-off series has me absolutely thrilled!


Despite speculation surrounding whether “Doctor Who” will continue beyond Season 15, the future of the franchise has sparked some discussion. Fortunately, it seems that the series is not fading away, as a UNIT spin-off is currently being developed.

BBC and Disney+ are collaborating on a new spin-off series, which will introduce Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient as beloved characters from Doctor Who. In addition, Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw will be featured in the cast.

What we know about the Doctor Who UNIT spin-off series

As a devoted fan who has spent countless hours immersed in Doctor Who lore, I find myself eagerly anticipating the upcoming series titled “The War Between The Land and The Sea.” With a background in both marine biology and archaeology, this five-part spin-off promises to be a captivating exploration of my dual interests.

The upcoming series introduces a formidable, age-old marine creature that invades Earth. This event instigates a global emergency, prompting the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce (UNIT) to intervene for worldwide safety. The conflict unfolds across both continents and oceans.

Russell T. Davies, collaborating with Pete McTighe, has penned a spin-off series. This series will introduce the Sea Devils, a species initially introduced in 1972 and reoccurring since then. They were hinted at in “73 Yards,” and indeed, their timeline turned out to be crucial for Ruby as she assisted The Doctor in devising a solution to thwart Sutekh.

As a long-time fan of the “Doctor Who” universe, I must admit that I’ve been eagerly anticipating this latest spin-off. You see, I’ve spent countless hours watching The Doctor navigate through time and space, saving Earth and the universe from various alien threats. But as someone who grew up with UNIT, I’ve always wondered what it would be like for them to tackle these challenges on their own. Now, finally, we get a glimpse into that world – one where UNIT is left to save the planet without The Doctor’s moral compass guiding the way. It’s an intriguing prospect, and I can’t wait to see how it unfolds!
