The War Between the Land and the Sea Is Set to Launch with a Double Bill on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on 7 December
The UNIT-focused spin-off concludes the Disney Plus deal with a story about an ancient sea species; the first two episodes air as a double bill on BBC One.
- On Sunday 7 December, BBC One and BBC iPlayer will debut the first two episodes of The War Between the Land and the Sea as a double bill at 8:30pm.

- Created by Russell T Davies with Pete McTighe, the five-part series stars Russell Tovey as Barclay, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Salt, and Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.

- Reports of friction between the studios indicate the BBC–Disney partnership strained, with last episodes airing on the BBC before Disney+, and international audiences waiting until 2026 while the future remains uncertain.
