The War Between the Land and the Sea: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
Doctor Who fans, get ready for an exciting addition to the Whoniverse! 'The War Between the Land and the Sea' is an upcoming five-part miniseries spin-off from the beloved BBC series, focusing on UNIT and the return of the classic Doctor Who villains, the Sea Devils. Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, this thrilling drama promises to deliver epic battles, familiar faces, and a fresh take on the Doctor Who universe. Here's everything we know so far about Season 1. The War Between the Land and the Sea Release Date Speculation
As of June 1, 2025, no official release date has been confirmed for 'The War Between the Land and the Sea' Season 1. However, filming began in August 2024 and wrapped in December 2024, giving us some clues for speculation.
Filming spanned from August to December 2024, a roughly four-month shoot for the five-episode series. Post-production, including visual effects and editing, is expected to take several months, especially given the Sea Devils' likely need for CGI and prosthetics.
Reports, including a rumoured Disney+ 2025 lineup, suggest a late 2025 premiere, possibly between September and December 2025. The War Between the Land and the Sea Cast Details
The War Between the Land and the Sea boasts a stellar cast, blending Doctor Who alumni with fresh faces. Here's the lineup confirmed so far: Russell Tovey as Barclay
Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Salt
Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart
Alexander Devrient as Colonel Ibrahim
Ruth Madeley as Shirley Anne Bingham
Colin McFarlane as General Austin Pierce

Roles for these actors, including potential Sea Devils, are yet to be revealed. The War Between the Land and the Sea Plot Details
The official logline sets the stage: 'When a fearsome and ancient species emerges from the ocean, dramatically revealing themselves to humanity, an international crisis is triggered. With the entire population at risk, UNIT steps into action as the land and sea wage war.'

Is ‘The Lazarus Project' returning for season 3? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 2, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated August 2, 2025, 19:16 IST Fans of The Lazarus Project have been on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting news about a potential third season of this mind-bending, time-loop thriller. With its gripping plot twists, complex characters, and a unique take on time travel, the Sky Max series has built a dedicated following. But is Season 3 happening? Here's a deep dive into everything known so far about the future of The Lazarus Project , packed with the latest updates and speculation. A Quick Recap of The Lazarus Project For those new to the series, The Lazarus Project follows George (Paapa Essiedu), a regular guy who discovers he's one of the rare few with a genetic quirk that lets him remember time resets. Recruited by the secretive Lazarus Project, a group tasked with preventing global catastrophes by manipulating time, George navigates a world of moral dilemmas, high-stakes missions, and personal loss. Season 1 premiered in June 2022, and Season 2 dropped in November 2023, leaving viewers with plenty of unresolved questions. The show's blend of sci-fi, drama, and action, created by Joe Barton, has earned praise for its intelligent storytelling and stellar cast, including Anjli Mohindra as Archie, Charly Clive as Sarah, and Caroline Quentin as Wes. But after two thrilling seasons, the big question remains: will the team return for another time-twisting adventure? Is The Lazarus Project Season 3 Happening? Unfortunately, the news isn't what fans might hope for. In March 2024, Sky Max officially canceled The Lazarus Project after two seasons. This announcement came as a shock to many, especially given the show's strong fanbase and critical acclaim. The cancellation was reported by multiple outlets, including The Bulletin Time and Wikipedia, confirming that the series won't be moving forward with a third season on Sky Max. While this decision has disappointed fans, it's worth noting that cancellations don't always mean the end. Shows have been revived before due to fan campaigns or picked up by other networks or streaming platforms. However, as of August 2025, no such revival has been announced for The Lazarus Project . Posts on X reflect fans' frustration, with many expressing hope for a reversal or a new home for the series, but nothing concrete has surfaced.

If even Pride & Prejudice has to have a ‘diverse' cast, the English period drama is dead
Five years ago the BBC website published an article headlined: 'Is It Time the All-White Period Drama Was Made Extinct?' Well, it clearly is now. These days every period drama has an ethnically diverse cast, regardless of when it's set: the 1920s (Wicked Little Letters), the 1530s (Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light), even 1066 (King and Conqueror, the BBC's forthcoming serial about the Battle of Hastings). So it came as no surprise to read, this week, that Netflix's new adaptation of Pride & Prejudice will have a diverse cast, too. Personally I find this a fascinating trend. Producers of period dramas always go to the most painstaking lengths to ensure that costumes, furniture and decor look scrupulously authentic. Yet when it comes to casting, they do the opposite – and pretend that, 200 or 500 or 1,000 years ago, England was every bit as multicultural as it is in the 2020s. They would die of embarrassment if, in the background, viewers were to glimpse a set of solar panels, or double yellow lines. But black Anglo-Saxons? No problem at all. It's a peculiar combination. If we've decided that historical verisimilitude no longer matters in casting, surely we should be consistent, and decide that it no longer matters in clothing or behaviour, either. Let Regency noblemen wear Arsenal shirts. Show the Normans riding into battle in Chinooks. Have Sir Thomas More take a selfie on the scaffold. At any rate, the author of the BBC's article about making the 'all-white' period drama extinct seemed to approve of this new trend in casting. 'Finally,' she wrote, 'the industry is demonstrating that period drama is a genre in which racial diversity can be both reflected and celebrated.' This is all very well. The trouble is, it makes it look as if racial diversity has been 'celebrated' throughout our history. To viewers, this must be puzzling. In recent years, we've been endlessly told that Britain's past was shamefully racist. Yet period dramas tell us it was a multicultural utopia, in which people of all races were welcome at every level of society. Still, we mustn't carp. I'm sure this colour-blind approach to casting applies equally to all. I look forward to the BBC airing a period drama about the Windrush, in which the main passengers are played by Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley. At last: a Labour policy I actually like Normally I believe that a job should always go to the best-qualified candidate, and that preferential treatment should not be given to 'under-represented' groups. On this occasion, however, I'm going to be brazenly hypocritical and toss my principles aside. This is because, from now on, the Government wants all civil service interns to be working-class. And I think it sounds like a great idea. Of course it's not meritocratic. But Whitehall is the one place that might actually benefit from a bit of naked class warfare. Remember that Laura Kuenssberg documentary from 2023, which revealed that, the morning after the EU referendum, civil servants were 'in tears'? How many working-class staff would have reacted like that? If Nigel Farage is worried that a Reform government would be stymied by Brexit-hating mandarins, this dramatic change in recruitment policy should please him no end. The trouble with the 'Islamo-Left' In 1999, the writers of the satirical website The Onion published a very funny book called Our Dumb Century. It consisted of spoof newspaper front pages, inspired by the key events of the previous 100 years. And among its countless highlights was the headline of a story about Japan entering the Second World War on the side of Nazi Germany. It read: 'Japan Forms Alliance with White Supremacists in Well-Thought-Out Scheme.' I always remember that phrase 'Well-Thought-Out Scheme', whenever I read about the Western anti-Israel LGBTQIA+ group that calls itself Queers for Palestine. Yet, no matter how often critics argue that it might as well call itself Chickens for KFC, its members remain undeterred. Mind you, they aren't the only ones who believe there's a happy and united future for the so-called 'Islamo-Left'. The new party led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana is likely to attract many others who see no drawbacks to forming an alliance between one group that's extremely liberal on social issues, and another that is sometimes, shall we say, a bit more conservative. I wonder how many of these adorably well-meaning Corbynites are aware of what happened a few years ago in Hamtramck, Michigan. When the city elected America's first ever all-Muslim council, local progressives were jubilant. This was a glorious victory for marginalised minorities – and a crushing defeat for small-minded bigots. Imagine their shock, therefore, when the Muslim council then banned the flying of the LGBTQIA+ Pride flag from city property. According to the Washington Post, the local progressives felt not just appalled, but 'betrayed'. 'We welcomed you,' wailed a retired social worker. 'We created nonprofits to help feed, clothe, find housing. We did everything we could to make your transition here easier – and this is how you repay us, by stabbing us in the back?' Sadly, as Robert Burns more or less put it: the well-thought-out schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.
