16 Years Later, One Sci-Fi Spinoff Is Trying To Pull Off A Difficult Trick
Briefly

The new Doctor Who spinoff, 'The War Between the Land and the Sea,' attempts to bring a more serious, Earthbound perspective to the franchise. This contrasts with the existing whimsical tone traditionally associated with Doctor Who. Showrunner Russell T Davies draws on past successes, particularly the miniseries 'Torchwood: Children of Earth,' to create a grounded conflict between the Sea Devils—now depicted in a more human-like form—and humanity. This series will re-establish Silurian lore and follows the current UNIT team, suggesting an exploration of complex themes in a familiar yet transformed setting.
The new spinoff 'The War Between the Land and the Sea' seeks to deliver a serious Earthbound narrative, a departure from the usual whimsical nature of Doctor Who.
With 'The War Between the Land and the Sea,' Russell T Davies aims to redefine our understanding of the aquatic Silurians while exploring a unique Earth-centered conflict.
