Crews have started filming a new sci-fi drama set in the Doctor Who universe. The five-part miniseries, called “The War Between the Land and the Sea,” brings Unit into a conflict with an ancient sea-dwelling species. Showrunner Russell T. Davies revealed details about the project during a recent interview.

The series centers on an international crisis as an old species emerges from the ocean to endanger humanity. Unit, a military organization that investigates alien threats, works to stop the sea creatures. Filming started three weeks ago in Cardiff, Wales and will continue in a single block through December.

Davies explained the challenges of this approach, noting scenes from the first episode may not film until close to wrap. “Normally episodes would divide filming into blocks, but this is one continuous shoot. So an actor’s first appearance could be the last scene of the last episode,” he said. The production...

“Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” just wrapped up Season 2 and the wait for next season could be a long one.

Luckily, there’s no shortage of incredible TV floating around. While everyone waits likely years for their next chance to step foot in the Second Age of Middle-earth, there are plenty of fantastical shows to keep up with in the meantime. On top of that there’s currently no shortage of prequel series out there.

From obvious picks like “House of the Dragon” to lesser-seen gems like “Black Sails,” these are seven shows to dive into for a binge while we wait for news on the next season of “Rings of Power.”

Netflix unveiled the first big data dump of 2024 on Thursday, and the engagement report for everything watched in the first half of the year proved that subscribers really love three things: Millie Bobby Brown, sharks and animated movies.

Some of the data points were unsurprising – we knew Brown’s “Damsel” was a huge hit, and indeed it was the most-watched film for the first half of the year. But others were interesting, like just how heavily Netflix’s streaming partnership with Universal factors into what’s being watched and the relative success of Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” films.

Below, we thumb through the biggest winners on the film side of the data dump.

Theo James and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are filming an intense scene for their new film Fuze!

The action sequence was filmed on Monday morning (September 16) in Wrotham, England. From the looks of the photos, it appears as if Theo was handcuffed and being held captive. Aaron was dressed in full army gear.

The film opens on the discovery of a World War II bomb found at a construction site in London, which causes a mass evacuation of the area…but a group of men use the mass-chaos that ensues as an opportunity for a heist. Sam Worthington and Gugu Mbatha-Raw will also star, THR reports.

Meanwhile, fans are still wondering if Aaron landed this major film role!

So far in 2024, Netflix movies have been off to a thrilling start with hit titles such as Damsel, Atlas, A Family Affair, and The Union. But the year isn't over yet! To finish out an excellent year of movies, Netflix announced its full slate of fall movies on Aug. 28, and we can look forward to even more hot titles of every genre, from horror to holiday, featuring some of the biggest stars.

Among the biggest and most-anticipated titles on the horizon include Joey King's dystopian sci-fi flick Uglies, which also stars Outer Banks favorite Chase Stokes; horror movies like It's What's Inside, Don't Move, and Time Cut; Anna Kendrick's directorial debut Woman of the Hour; and a full slate of Christmas rom-coms starring Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Christina Milian.

If you're looking for something to watch that'll have your heart racing and keep you on the edge of your seat, then you must check out these eight best action movies on Netflix that we shared below.

The Union (2024)

The Union was released on Netflix in August 2024, and it didn't take long at all for it to rise up the streamer's top 10 movie list. As of Aug. 27, it's currently sitting at the No.

The BBC and Disney+'s Doctor Who partnership is well underway. The rebooted series aired earlier this year to mixed reviews; there were superb entries like "73 Yards" as well as more disappointing episodes like "Space Babies." The future of the partnership is up in the air. But at the least, Doctor Who will return for season 2 on Christmas Day, with Ncuti Gatwa in the lead role as the Fifthteenth Doctor. Also, a new spinoff, The War Between the Land and the Sea, has officially entered production.

The Whoniverse has had a number of spinoffs over the years. The most successful ones include the dark and gritty Torchwood and the child-friendly The Sarah Jane Adventures. This latest is the first spinoff produced that's able to access Disney's vast resources. Created by Russell T. Davies, The War Between the Land and the Sea is a Unit-focused show. The Doctor is not involved...

The BBC and Disney+ announced additional cast members for the upcoming spinoff series “The War Between the Land and the Sea.” The show will focus on the classic Doctor Who villains called the Sea Devils. It will explore a war between humanity and the Sea Devils that emerge from the oceans.

The show features Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as lead characters. They have both appeared before in guest roles on Doctor Who. Joining them are returning actors Jemma Redgrave as Kate Stewart and Alexander Devrient as Colonel Ibrahim. Kate Stewart is head of the organization Unit, which tries to protect Earth.

Others reprising roles include Ruth Madeley as Unit officer Shirley Ann Bingham. She played this role in past Doctor Who anniversary specials. Colin McFarlane will also return as US General Austin Pierce. Fans may remember General Pierce from the dark Doctor Who story “Torchwood: Children of Earth” in...

Filming has begun on The War Between the Land and the Sea, and the first cast photo has been released for the Doctor Who spin-off series. The five-part series will air on BBC in the UK and on Disney+ in the US.

Russell Tovey is stepping out for the day.

The 42-year-old Looking actor chatted with a friend as they went for a walk around the neighborhood on Saturday afternoon (August 24) in London, England.

Russell was seen wearing a purple polo shirt with tan cargo shorts as he gave his friend a hug goodbye and continued on with his day.

Last month, Russell made an appearance at Comic Con to announce that he will be starring in the new Doctor Who spinoff series.

Russell will star alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the upcoming five-part series The War Between The Land And The Sea, focusing on military organization Unit. The series will air on BBC and Disney+. Find out more about the project here!

The Doctor Who franchise is currently in the beginnings of a wholly new era. Showrunner Russell T. Davies is back pulling the strings, and Disney is investing heavily into the next generation of the Whoniverse. Season 1 aired this year to a mixed reception, with the next season set to premiere on Christmas Day and into 2025. Furthermore, there's an all-new spinoff being made: The War Between Land and the Sea.

The War Between Land and the Sea doesn't have a release date yet. Indeed, there's a lot about it we don't know. What we know so far is that it is all about the Sea Devils, one of the Doctor's oldest enemies; they date back to the 1960s. The Doctor himself will not be involved. Rather, it'll be a Unit-focused series. The cast includes Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Russell Tovey. Both Jemma Redgrave (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart) and Alexander Devrient (Colonel Ibrahim) will reprise their roles.

Disney has hailed Doctor Who as a “really good fit” for Disney+ amid industry chatter over whether its ambitious co-production deal with the BBC has been a success.

Liam Keelan, Disney’s SVP of original productions in Emea, said the company was “happy to have” the Ncuti Gatwa sci-fi series on Disney+ outside of the UK.

The Disney chief did not, however, commit to renewing the BBC co-production deal beyond next year’s season, which is overseen by showrunner Russell T Davies.

Keelan said: “[Doctor Who] is a fabulous series. Obviously, in the UK it’s fully BBC, rightly so. We take rest of world rights. But really, really happy to have it. I think just, the quirkiness of it, the fact that it’s in that sci-fi world and when you think about what Disney offers in other regards, I think it feels like a really good fit to me.

An McU-style Whoniverse – one giant pulsating Cthulhu-like Doctor Who monster with multiple tentacles and limbs stretching in every direction – has always been the plan. Showrunner Russell T Davies has made no secret of that. He wants Doctor Who to be everything, everywhere, all at once, and why shouldn’t it be?

The first part of that plan was officially announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. A five-part miniseries entitled The War Between the Land and the Sea is about to go into production, starring Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. It’ll be available to watch in 2025 on BBC One and Disney+.

So (drums fingernails on desk) what else you got? According to the Sdcc 2024 diary from Bad Wolf’s Julie Gardner, published as part of the latest edition of Doctor Who Magazine, there are plans. Or at least hints of teases of plans. In Gardner’s entry...

Season 2 of Apple TV+'s psychological thriller Surface is officially on its way, so fans need to know a few things about the upcoming installment.

Surface follows Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Sophie Ellis, a character who lost her memory after a failed suicide attempt, meaning that she does not remember why she made that decision.

Alongside Mbatha-Raw, Surface also stars Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Ari Graynor.

The world of Doctor Who is expanding. BBC and Disney+ have announced a greenlight for The War Between the Land and the Sea, a new five-part spin-off series which will begin filming next month.

Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (above) will star in the series alongside Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient from Doctor Who. The series will follow what happens when an ancient race emerges from the oceans and a war begins.

Exclusive: Sally Wainwright’s Renegade Nell will not make it past a first season on Disney+.

The series about a quick-witted outlaw in 18th century England, which was the storied British scribe’s first for a streamer, launched several months back. We are told it hasn’t reached the threshold for a Disney+ renewal based on several metrics. Cast, creatives and production staff at the show’s producer Lookout Point have been told.

Renegade Nell was unveiled three years ago with fanfare and was one of the highest profile series to be commissioned out of Disney+’s UK office.

Starring Derry Girls’ Louisa Harland, the show followed the eponymous Nell, who finds herself framed for murder and unexpectedly becomes the most notorious outlaw in England. But when a magical spirit called Billy Blind appears, Nell realizes her destiny is bigger than she ever imagined. Cast also included Adrian Lester, Nick Mohammed and Joely Richardson.

Doctor Who will tap into its environmentalist history in the new five-part BBC One/Disney+ spinoff announced by showrunner Russell T Davies at Sdcc 2024. The long-rumoured Sea Devils show will concern “a race that lives beneath the oceans,” who awaken to see their underwater home in a perilous state due to humanity’s actions.

“We have wrecked the place,” explained Davies at last Friday’s Hall H Doctor Who panel, “and it is war.”

Fighting that war “on an epic scale” will be Unit, headed up in its current incarnation by Kate Lethbridge Stewart (Jemma Redgrave) and her secret honey/Squad Five colonel Christopher Ibrahim (Alexander Devrient). They’ll be joined by two as-yet-unknown lead characters played by Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw, alongside others yet to be announced.

The BBC has confirmed that Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The Land and the Sea will begin filming later this year. Here are the details.

When Russell T Davies came back to Doctor Who, one of the first things he mentioned was the idea of building a Whoniverse, where Doctor Who and associated spin-offs would all come under one banner.

The Whoniverse launched on iPlayer last year, and it included all surviving episodes of Classic Who and every episode of New Who, plus all the spin-offs like Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures and even K-9 and Company. Every episode of Confidential is available to watch, along with a wealth of material from the BBC archive. Tales of the Tardis was a lovely treat too.

But what Doctor Who fans have been wondering ever since Davies returned was when he would launch a new spin-off. Rumours have been rife for months,...

The Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con was super cool! It had been forever since the show was in Hall H, but the wait was totally worth it. Showrunner Russell T. Davies and stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson came out to chat with fans. They spilled some major details about what’s coming up for our favorite Time Lord.

One big announcement was a new spin-off series called “Doctor Who: The War Between the Land and the Sea.” It will feature some huge stars like Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Russell Tovey, and Alexander Devrient battling classic monsters, the Sea Devils! The five-part show focuses on them waging war on humanity because of how we’ve messed up the oceans. It sounds epic!

Fans also got a sneak peek at this year’s Christmas special called “Joy to the World.” It stars Nicola Coughlan, who you may know from “Bridgerton,” as a character named Joy.

After a trifecta of terrific 60th anniversary specials and a rip-roaring first series with Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson aboard the Tardis, Doctor Who — the world's longest-running sci-fi series — is back and bigger than ever before. And returning showrunner Russell T. Davies' new-look Whoniverse is about to get even bigger. At the show's 'Into The Whoniverse' Comic-Con Hall H panel yesterday, Rtd revealed that The War Between The Land And The Sea — an all-new Who spin-off series — is in the works, with Russell Tovey (Love Again) and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki) set to star.

Tovey and Mbatha-Raw will be joined in the show by Who regulars Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient, whose Unit chief Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim were last seen in 'Empire Of Death' holding hands after being brought back from bad dog Sutekh's dust of death.
