The latest season of Doctor Who just ended (and what a finale it was!), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have additional Whovian goodness to look forward to in the near future.

There’s a five-episode spinoff coming to Disney+ called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and Disney+ released a trailer today that suggests that the battle will be epic.

Here’s the official synopsis:

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 step into action as the land and sea wage war.

“The excitement is beginning to build, as the Whoniverse expands,” Russell T. Davies said in a statement. “I can’t wait for people to see this magnificent cast in such a powerful, vital, epic story. Look to the seas!”

The War Between the Land and the Sea stars Russell Tovey as the human Barclay, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the ocean-loving Salt. The limited series also stars Jemma Redgrave, Alexander Devrient, Ruth Madeley, Colin McFarlane, Adrian Lukis, Patrick Baladi, Francesca Corney, Mei Mac, and Vincent Franklin. Additional guest stars who can be spotted in the trailer are Waleed Hammad, Iestyn Arwel, Hannah Donaldson, Manpreet Bachu, and Ann Akinjirin.

Alas, there’s no news yet on when we’ll see the series stream on Disney+.
