Creature Design Shines in Doctor Who Spinoff

The Doctor Who universe is expanding with the 2026 release of the spinoff series, The War Between the Land and the Sea. This new show will feature the Homo Aqua, formerly known as Sea Devils, with a creature design that emphasizes their deep connection to Earth's history. Millennium FX CEO Neill Gorton explained that the Homo Aqua are not aliens in the traditional Doctor Who sense but are indigenous species that predated humanity, making them closely related to the Silurians.

This unique origin required the design team to ensure the Homo Aqua appeared as if they had naturally evolved on Earth, incorporating familiar yet supernatural elements, with a noticeable turtle-like influence and a prehistoric, almost dinosaurian aesthetic. The original design laid the groundwork, but Millennium FX refined it to achieve a visually stunning result. The series, airing in 2026, has already received critical acclaim in the UK, generating excitement for its arrival on Disney+ in the United States.
