The Official Teaser Holds a Plea to End 'The War Between the Land & the Sea'

For Doctor Who fans, 2025 is proving to be a bittersweet one. In the U.S., the show's longest-running convention, Gallifrey One, announced it would be shutting down before the end of the decade. On TV, Disney seems to be on the fence about making the marriage official after the contract for the current two-season engagement ends. With Disney unsure if it will seal the deal, it's unclear if, when, and who the Doctor will regenerate into, as the character who emerged at the finale's conclusion was not introduced as "The Doctor."

(The BBC will renew the show regardless of Disney's decision; it's just a matter of the show moving house in the U.S, again.)

However, Disney's fence-sitting will continue for at least a bit longer, and it's due to the good part of 2025: the first Doctor Who spinoff in almost a decade. Titled the horrendously overlong and deeply search engine-unfriendly The War Between the Land & the Sea, the UNIT-focused series dropped its first teaser after Doctor Who's finale, promising it will be next up to stream on both Disney+ and the BBC.
