RTD has repeatedly expressed stake in exploring future spinoffs after late effortsTorchwood , The Sarah Jane Adventures , andClass , and the first of these oblation add up withTales of the TARDISin October 2023 .
Alas , Tales of the TARDISwas not aDoctor Whospinoff in the original mother wit .

Season 14, Episode 4 All But Confirms Doctor Who’s Upcoming Spinoff
Did You Spot This Line In Doctor Who Season 14, Episode 4?
Ncuti Gatwa ’s Fifteenth Doctor is barely inDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s " 73 Yards , " but he spends most of his allotted time waxing lyric about the Welsh coastline the TARDIS is perched upon . During his sale pitch for Welsh tourism , the Doctor expend the term " the warfare between the soil and the ocean " to describe the meeting of water and rock ‘n’ roll he and Ruby are looking at . In a fascinatingly meta Easter nut , The War Between the Land & the Seais the name of the rumoredDoctor WhoSea Devils spinoff currently in development .
No official seed has yet confirmedThe War Between the Land & the Seais actually happening , although the hearsay have been wide reported and contain various central details regarding the supposed production . Russell T Davies using the rumored title as a line of dialogue inDoctor Whoseason 14 does , however , strongly involve thatThe War Between the Land & the Seais a genuine spinoff issue forth to the Whoniverse . Back inDoctor Who Magazine#598 , RTD hinted that a task with an eight - intelligence deed of conveyance was brewing behind the aspect , lending the name - drib in " 73 Yards " even more implication .
Reports give some reading of what Doctor Who ’s next spinoff will be about , but the tease construct is very far from what many would have expected .
What “The War Between The Land & The Sea” Actually Means
How Doctor Who’s Spinoff Title Relates To The Sea Devils
As far asDoctor Whoseason 14 ’s " 73 Yards " episode is concerned , the phrase " the war between the Edwin Herbert Land and the sea " is little more than a poetic way of key the constantly ram waves against the Welsh shoring - the urine never cease in its inexorable ravishment and the land never giving an inch in its steadfast defense . Doctor Who ’s next spinoffwill , presumptively , not centre upon the geographics of Wales ' scenic coastline , and so the musical phrase bring on a much unlike meaning in the context of the Sea Devils .
If a chemical group of Sea Devils stirs from sleep and attempts to reclaim Earth from the glorified anthropoid who seized it in their absence , a true war between body politic and sea would come .
Introduced during the Third Doctor ’s era as part of the wider Silurian race , the Sea Devils were prevailing on Earth before humanity had germinate , but get going into a self - imposed hibernation to avoid a cataclysmal issue that ultimately never transpire . Their technology failed , and the Sea Devils remained dormant late below the major planet ’s open while man reigned on top . On the few occasion a colony of Sea Devils has wake up inDoctor Who , they have react badly to Earth ’s Modern number one species .
The latest Doctor Who series introduces the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by new companion Ruby Sunday.
The Sea Devils are an aquatic offset of the Silurians , and these two races have teamed up against humans previously inDoctor Who .
The proposedDoctor Whospinoff titleThe War Between the Land and the Sea , therefore , hints towards another violent waking up from the Sea Devils . If a group of the animal stirs from slumber and attempts to reclaim Earth from the glorify ape who seized it in their absence , a truthful war between land and sea would occur - not the metaphorical sort the Fifteenth Doctor muses over in " 73 Yards . " instead , the phrase may suggestDoctor Who ’s coming spinoff will be about a conflict for supremacy in the ancient past between the land - based Silurians and their ocean - dwelling Sea Devil cousins .
