No. Much has been made of the marketing of the series, in which David Richardson expressed that he "does not see" it as a DW spinoff. However, other staff and the "head writer" and creator Jonathan Morris have expressed that it is set in the DWU, just that it isn't a spinoff requiring BBC licensing given that the characters and races are all owned by BF writers and producers, a la Graceless, Iris Wildthyme, Charlotte Pollard, etc.
