Ncuti Gatwa and Russell T. Davies shared a first took at Nicola Coughlin’s Christmas special cameo, and teased the show’s new spinoff at San Diego Comic-Con.
Ncuti Gatwa, Russell T. Davies, and Millie Gibson shared a sneak peak at Doctor Who’s 2024 Christmas special episode during their Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday.
The episode, titled “Joy to the World,” was written by Doctor Who veteran and former showrunner Steven Moffat. It will be Moffat’s 50th episode of Doctor Who, following “Boom,” his tense entry in the series’ 14th season. Moffat told TV Choice it might be his last Doctor Who episode, although he’s said that before. (And he tacitly acknowledged that in the interview: “What I feel slightly sad about is, even if I do another one, I probably won’t know when I’ve done my last one.”)
“Joy to the World” guest stars Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan as Joy, alongside Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor, and is expected to air on Disney Plus on Christmas Day 2024. The panel included a brief glimpse at Coughlan and the Christmas special:
