Announced almost two years ago to the day, the new season of the beloved show will see Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa take ownership of the sonic screwdriver as the official 15th Doctor.
Although the face may be different, you can expect the usual epic monster-conquering adventures through space and time from Gatwa’s initial eight-episode run. We’ve already seen from the trailer (which you can watch at the bottom of this page) that the Doctor and new companion Ruby Sunday (played by Millie Gibson) will take the TARDIS from prehistoric plains and Bridgerton-era England, to meeting the Beatles in the 1960s.
With a fresh young cast in front of the camera and returning showrunner Russell T Davies pulling the strings, there’s massive anticipation from Whovians about the upcoming series. « It’s really nice to have that buzz around Doctor Who, » says Gatwa. « It’s a great show, and I feel very lucky to have the baton handed on to me for such an incredible drama. This is a really exciting time. »
It’s worth noting that episodes of Doctor Who season 1 will air on the BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus before they’re shown on BBC One in the UK.
