Everything appears topsy-turvy in addition to timey-wimey in a brand new trailer for the Doctor Who episodes arriving in November 2023 and that includes the returns of franchise vets David Tennant and Catherine Tate.
Also glimpsed in the teaser above are Neil Patrick Harris as an as-yet-unspecified and OTT Big Bad, plus the live-action debut of Beep the Meep, an cute E.T. who beforehand solely appeared in the Marvel comics sequence primarily based on the long-running sci-fi sequence.
Doctor Who left each its followers and a sure Time Lord remarking, “What?!,” as this yr’s third and ultimate particular, which aired in October, got here to a stunning shut. The Power of the Doctor expectedly showcased Jodie Whittaker’s anticipated exit from the sequence, however as her Thirteenth Doctor regenerated at the finish of the installment, it was none apart from David Tennant who (re)appeared.
Showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed that Tennant, who beforehand performed the Tenth Doctor, now could be enjoying the Fourteenth Doctor, that means that sequence newcomer Ncuti Gatwa will ultimately emerge as Fifteen. In flip, Millie Gibson, who’s finest identified for her function as Coronation Street’s Kelly Neelan, will play the newest companion, the gloriously named Ruby Sunday. (See the dynamic new duo’s contemporary matches right here.)
“If you thought the appearance of David Tennant was a shock, we’ve got plenty more surprises on the way!” mentioned Davies. “The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is laden with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how is it connected to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble (to be played again by Catherine Tate)? How, what, why? We’re giving you a year to speculate, and then all hell lets loose!”
The new episodes of Doctor Who will stream Stateside in November 2023, to coincide with the sequence’ sixtieth anniversary. And as properly reported, Disney+ is now the unique residence for Doctor Who‘s new adventures, for territories outdoors of the UK and Ireland (after all).
(HBO Max will proceed to be the U.S. streaming residence for the unique seasons, 1 by way of 13, whereas BritBox will proceed to stream S1-26.)
