Doctor Who Spring Special Trailer Unleashes Sea Devils & Sea Monsters
The BBC has finally released a trailer for the Doctor Who Spring Special, «Legend of the Sea Devils.» Jodie Whittaker's tenure as the Thirteenth Doctor is coming to an end, but she has two more specials remaining. The first, «The Legend of the Sea Devils,» is expected to be a fairly standalone story in which the Doctor and her friends travel back to nineteenth-century China and confront the Sea Devils.
The Sea Devils are classic Doctor Who villains, first introduced in the 1970s. The Sea Devils and their evolutionary cousins the Silurians were the first sentient species to evolve on Earth, but placed themselves in cryogenic suspension to survive what they expected to be an extinction-level event. In reality, the asteroid they had believed was going to collide with the Earth slipped into its orbit, becoming the Moon, and systems designed to awaken them from their slumber never activated. Current Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall is an old-school Doctor Who fan; he brought the Silurians back in an Eleventh Doctor story he wrote for Doctor Who season 5, and now he's bringing the Sea Devils back as well.
