The Elysium was a Doctor Who television spin-off series. It was produced by Left Bank Pictures for the BBC, CBS and Netflix.
The series was created by Doctor Who showrunners, Ronald D. Moore and Jane Espenson, with the latter going on to showrun the series.
Origins
The Elysium’s roots were founded in the finale of Panopticon, Doctor. Ronald D. Moore purposely wrote the ending to Panopticon to be open-ended enough to be revisited sometime in the future, as by that point, he was deep into planning his era in-charge of Doctor Who and intended to bring back the Vex/Time Lord fleet. With Panopticon coming to an end, as well as Cold Front’s lack of renewal for a Season 3, CBS were looking to produce a brand-new spinoff show, and ideally a show which could be a bit more self-contained than Panopticon, and stand out as a major CBS show, with it possibly rivalling the likes of HBO’s Game of Thrones, in terms of scale.
Meanwhile, Ronald D. Moore commissioned Ira Steven Behr to write a follow-up episode, Remnants, in Season 49, showing what happened to the Vex/Time Lord fleet, after the events of Panopticon.
When CBS approached Moore, and co-showrunner, Jane Espenson, about the possibility of a new spinoff, two major concepts went into development, based upon stories from Season 49. The first was a spinoff set on Earth during the Gaian regime, linking in with the story arc in Season 49, and it would’ve featured Amanda Theodore as the main character. The second was what became The Elysium, originally titled The 1252, which focused upon the arrival of the Vex/Time Lord fleet on the planet, they set off for in Doctor.
After a few months of development, Moore and Espenson pitched The Elysium to CBS, and it was formally green-lit.
