Doctor Who is coming back to BBC next year and it’s promising some of the best action in years. BBC surprised the fans by dropping a new teaser just in time for Christmas, introducing Ncuti Gatwa as the new Time Lord, while also bringing back a few beloved characters.
Shortly after Jodie Whittaker announced her exit as the Thirteen Doctor, BBC started plotting something amazing for the show’s 60th anniversary. They reunited with showrunner Russell T. Davies, who’s responsible for bringing the Doctor into the 21st century, and he convinced several beloved cast members to come back on board.
The new teaser features David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor and Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble. The duo is expected to make a comeback in the three-hour-long 60th-anniversary special, set to premiere in November 2023.
The return of Tennant and Tate will give you major nostalgia overload, but the new teaser also looks into the future. Ncuti Gatwa, who’s set to play the Fifteenth Doctor, appears at the end of the teaser asking, “Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?”
Gatwa will take over from Tennant in Season 14, which started filming earlier this month. It will feature a total of eight episodes, set to premiere in 2024.
