The Doctor is in!
Doctor Who fans still have quite a while to wait before the next season begins, but at least now they can envision what (or who!) to expect. It comes after the BBC shared the first official look at the Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa.
It was announced in May that the S-x Education star would succeed Jodie Whitaker as the new Doctor. Whitaker appeared for the final time in October as part of the special aired to mark the BBC Centenary.
While it was expected that the Broadchurch actress would transform into Gatwa at the end, fans were instead met with the Fourteenth Doctor who looked a lot like David Tennant!
With Tennant returning to the Whoniverse as the Fourteenth incarnation of The Doctor, that leaves Gatwa as Fifteen. The 30-year-old appeared briefly in a teaser trailer of what’s to come, but now we can take a proper look at his version of the Time Lord.
Gatwa’s Doctor will don an orange T-shirt, brown tartan pants, and a matching coat. He is set to be joined by Millie Gibson who portrays his companion, Ruby Sunday.
The Fifteenth Doctor is expected to make his first appearance during the Doctor Who 60th anniversary special in November 2023.
