More details are emerging about the planned Doctor Who spin-offs, one of which is set to feature Jemma Redgrave, as showrunner Russell T.
Davies says an episode of the new series is “one of the greatest things I’ve ever made in my life.” Since striking a mega international distribution deal for the show with Disney+, Davies, who is showrunning the series for the second time, has been clear that spin-offs will arrive as part of an expanded ‘Whoniverse.’ One of those spin-offs will be based on military research organization UNIT and will star Redgrave as Kate Stewart, BBC sources confirmed.
Redgrave has played Stewart in 10 episodes of Doctor Who since 2012 and the spin-off will focus on her running of the unit, which has appeared on and off in Doctor Who for the past 50 years.
