Doctor Who<\/span> hasn\u2019t made a SDCC panel appearance since 2018 (but their booth game has never dwindled). Six years later, they came back bigger than ever when it took up Hall H at San Diego Comic Con on Friday, July 26th, 2024. The panel featured Russell T. Davis (showrunner), Ncuti Gatwa (15th Doctor), and Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday)\u2014and was moderated by Josh Horowitz, the host of the <\/span>Happy Sad Confused<\/span> podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n

The showrunner and cast delved into Season 1 (or, Series 14, if you
will) of the show, discussing Ncuti and Millie\u2019s first season, RTD\u2019s return, and answering fan questions. We got fun little tidbits, like how there will be more musical numbers to come, more gods from the Pantheon, and some cool BTS stories!<\/span><\/p>\n

We also got <\/span>spinoff news!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

The War Between The Land And The Sea<\/span> is set to be a five-part series about the Sea Devils, who rise up and realize how badly humans have treated the ocean, and UNIT steps in as war breaks out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw are set to lead the new series. Many might remember them as playing Alonso Frame and Tish Jones during the first RTD era\u2014but they will actually be playing brand new characters. Joining them will be Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart and Alexander Devrient as Colonel Ibrahim.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be directed by Dylan Holmes-Williams, who also directed \u201c73 Yards\u201d and \u201cDot and Bubble\u201d in the most recent season of <\/span>Doctor Who.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is set to begin filming in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also got a lovely message from Nicola Coughlan, who is playing Joy in this year\u2019s Christmas special, as well as a sneak peek for what\u2019s to come.<\/span><\/p>\n
