Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has revealed the writing team for the upcoming spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea.
The five-part miniseries follows UNIT as they take on a threat from the Sea Devils and stars the likes of Russell Tovey, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jemma Redgrave, Alexander Devrient and Ruth Madeley.
Writing in his regular column for Doctor Who Magazine, Davies confirmed that he teamed up with Pete McTighe - known for the Who episodes 'Kerblam!' and 'Praxeus' - for the new show.
He wrote: "In the office, this show is generally shortened to TWB, which makes me think it stands for Torchwood: Birmingham. We're in the third week of filming. Very exciting!
"The shoot will go on until just before Christmas, and it's a mammoth task, all wrangled by one director, Dylan Holmes Williams.
"I wrote eps 1 and 5, Pete McTighe wrote eps 2 and 3, and ep 4 is by both of us. Shooting a miniseries as one block brings its own challenges."
The War Between the Land and the Sea is expected to air in late 2025 or early 2026.
