The War Between the Land and the Sea becomes the latest miniseries that's grabbing fans' attention, especially for those who love Doctor Who and engaging characters. However, the miniseries has a completely different plot and some new characters, as this time it's about a war between water creatures and humanity.

The show begins with the Sea Devils emerging after years and straight away accusing humans of harming the seas and the lives inside them. They believe that the climate damage is all because of humans, who keep exploiting the planet and don't think about other species.

This major conflict is the reason why the Sea Devils want a war against humans. At the center of the story is Barclay, a relatively unimportant UNIT employee who never expected to stand out. But after the leader of the Sea Devils sees a little kindness in Barclay, he appoints him the main figure to negotiate with humans.

With such an intriguing plot, many would want to watch the miniseries. And if you're one of them, you can catch up with The War Between the Land and the Sea on BBC One and BBC iPlayer for streaming in the UK.

How many episodes does The War Between the Land and the Sea has?

Being a miniseries, The War Between the Land and the Sea only has five episodes in total. The first two came out on Sunday, December 7, and new episodes will come out on Sundays until the finale on December 21.

As for the story so far, Barclay now has to carry out his responsibility of negotiating with humans. The series shows how he and those around Barclay work together. And with all this happening, the biggest question is how Earth will handle this situation when the Doctor is nowhere to be found.

The showrunner of the miniseries shared:

"It's a really beautiful, brilliant, compelling show."

Interestingly, Salt is another notable character in The War Between the Land and the Sea, and she isn't new in the Doctor Who universe. What's interesting about this character is that Gugu Mbatha-Raw wears extremely detailed prosthetics that completely reshape her appearance.

The actress shared:

"The prosthetics are just so detailed. But Russell's dog Rocky wasn't into it."

She joked that the showrunner's dog growled at her as she wore prosthetics. Raw continued:

"I'd forget I was dressed as Salt, he'd growl and I'd think: 'Oh yeah, I'm blue'. The War Between is a wild, epic, thrilling adventure. It has so many compelling messages about the world we're living in and what we can do about it."

The actress explained that it's incredibly adventurous and fans will love it.
