What This Means For The Release Date For The War Between The Land And The Sea
The Show Should Come On Time
As Davies alludes to in his post, the filming process forThe War Between the Land and the Seawas fairly expedient. The start of production was announced just this summer. It took them less than three months to film the series. With a production that swift, there must be a significant team behind theDoctor Whospinoffseries, boding well for the quality of the show.
Part of why the filming was pretty quick is likely due to the fact thatThe War Between the Land and the Seais only a five-episode miniseries. This is shorter than a typical season ofDoctor Who, whose most recent installment was an eight-episode season. Still, the speed with which the BBC team is handlingThe War Between the Land and the Seasuggests the series is in good standing to arrive in time for its expected 2025 release date.
