In a first look at the cast of The War Between The Land And The Sea, Ruth Madeley and Colin McFarlane return to the Whoniverse alongside the previously announced Russell Tovey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jemma Redgrave, and Alexander Devrient, in photos from a table read that were released today.

The first Doctor Who spin-off series between the BBC and Disney+, which is now entering production, is created by Doctor Who Showrunner and Executive Producer Russell T Davies, who has written the series with Executive Producer Pete McTighe (A Discovery of Witches, The Pact, Doctor Who).

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.

In addition to Russell T Davies and Pete McTighe, Executive Producers for Bad Wolf are Joel Collins, Phil Collinson, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter. Produced with the support of Welsh Government via Creative Wales.

The five-part series will be directed by Dylan Holmes Williams, director of two Doctor Who Season One episodes – 73 Yards and Dot and Bubble.

The series is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for the BBC and Disney Branded Television, and will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the UK, and exclusively on Disney+ where available.
