The Physician Who franchise is about to get even larger with a brand new spinoff sequence that, apparently, doesn’t appear to be it’s going to concentrate on everybody’s favourite Time Lord.
In the course of the Physician Who panel at this yr’s San Diego Comedian-Con, Disney and the BBC introduced that The Battle Between The Land And The Sea — a brand new sequence written by Russell T. Davies and Pete McTighe — is on the way in which. Moderately 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 historic, 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 may 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 she or he 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 capturing in August.
