==Overview==
The Time War Chronicles introduces the War Doctor as he begins his time in the Time War, along with Lalla Ward reprising her role as Romana II. Over the course of the five seasons, it provides a true insight into what truly happened in the Time War ahead of Doctor Who's 25th anniversary since revamping in 2005 with "Rose".
==Production==
It was decided that the first spin-off series under the new creative team would be led by Doug Naylor given his past experience of writing Red Dwarf however Andy Wilkins would assist with the creation of the universe for Season 1.
Jeremy Irvine would be cast as the young version of the War Doctor for Series 1, 2 & 3. Despite people suggesting Irvine looked nothing like the late Sir John Hurt, Naylor said that ultimately whilst it could be suggested that Irvine isn't like Hurt in his facial features, he would resemble what the War Doctor was about in his acting presence instead. For Series 4 & 5, Iain Glen (who had previously featured in 2010's Series 5) would take on the role of the War Doctor having aged a great deal.
Dave Filoni was appointed as Head Director for the five seasons after having been involved with the Disney+ production of The Mandalorian. 
For the first time since her departure in 1981's Warriors Gate, Lalla Ward returned to the Doctor Who Universe to reprise the role of Romana II. She would be leave at the end of Series 1 with a regeneration scene filmed as Daisy Ridley succeeded her. Louise Jameson would also reprise her role as Leela for the first time since her departure in 1978's The Invasion Of Time.
