Doctor Who: Disney+ Teaser; Gatwa & Gibson in NYC; Gatwa's Message

Disney+ posted a mini-teaser for Doctor Who and a look at Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson's NYC visit. Plus, Gatwa has a message for Whovians.

While we're busy transcribing what Showrunner Russell T. Davies and series stars Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor) & Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday) had to share during today's press event (yes, that's us still geeking out), we have some updates to pass along regarding the upcoming new season of BBC & Disney+'s Doctor Who. We kick things off with a Disney+ "One Week" mini-teaser reminder that offers an interesting new look. Following that, we take a look at Disney's big promo push for the show in NYC this week – and then we wrap up everything with a special message from Gatwa to all of the Whovians out there…

First up, Disney+ picks a very cool scene to remind its subscribers that the show will be hitting their screens in "One Week":

And here's a look at how NYC welcomed Gatwa & Gibson as they arrived in the U.S. for some the stateside press junket:

In the following video from the BBC, Gatwa shares a message directly with Doctor Who fans – discussing joining the long-running sci-fi series' universe, getting a chance to meet "The Whoniverse" in person, and much more. "The Whovians are very, very much in my heart," the Fifteenth Doctor shares at one point – here's a look:

Gatwa & Gibson's press tour kicked off earlier today, with the duo checking in with the folks over at ABC's Good Morning America to discuss the new adventures, what it's been like for the duo since joining the long-running series, and much more. But that wasn't all.., because kicking in at around the 1:30 mark, we see Ruby (Gibson) exiting the TARDIS – mesmerized by the prehistoric world surrounding her. The Doctor (Gatwa) uses the moment not just to explain how the TARDIS works (and what the name stands for) but to also offer her some "time geography" that should make the folks living in Wyoming smile…
