Today, Disney+ released the trailer for the upcoming season of Doctor Who. In the trailer, audiences get a sneak peek at the newest installment as the Fifteenth Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, and Ruby Sunday, portrayed by Millie Gibson, journey through time and space in the TARDIS—exploring the groovy ’60s, the Regency era in England, war-torn futures and more!
The trailer reveals a first look at Indira Varma’s (Game of Thrones) character, the Duchess, and it is announced that Callie Cooke (Henpocalypse!) will make an appearance in the upcoming season.
The trailer features additional guest cast members, including Anita Dobson, Yasmin Finney, Michelle Greenidge, Bonnie Langford, Jinkx Monsoon, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush, and Angela Wynter.
Beginning Friday, May 10, at 7:00 p.m. EDT on Disney+ in the U.S. and internationally (excluding the UK), audiences will return to “The Church on Ruby Road,” which premiered last December, and journey through two all-new episodes.
In the UK, the season kicks off Saturday, May 11, at 12:00 a.m. GMT on BBC iPlayer, followed by BBC One later that day.
This season of Doctor Who follows the Doctor and Ruby Sunday through infinite adventures across time and space in the TARDIS. From the Regency era in England to war-torn futures, the duo champions the forces of good while encountering incredible friends and dangerous foes.
Showrunner, executive producer, and writer Russell T Davies said: “At last, it’s my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby’s adventures together. Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that’s been spanning time and space for decades. Don’t miss a second!”
The previously announced guest cast includes Aneurin Barnard, Anita Dobson, Yasmin Finney, Michelle Greenidge, Jonathan Groff, Bonnie Langford, Genesis Lynea, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush, Indira Varma, and Angela Wynter.
Doctor Who is produced by Bad Wolf, with BBC Studios for Disney Branded Television and BBC. Under Davies’s creative vision, the additional executive producers include Phil Collinson, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter.
The new season features episodes directed by Ben Chessell, Jamie Donoughue, Julie Anne Robinson, and Dylan Holmes Williams.
