Doctor Who: Flux Chapter 5 Title, Details Released; Chapter 3 Preview

Even with the BBC's Doctor Who: Flux (check out our thoughts on "War of the Sontarans" here) staring down a third chapter that sees the Cybermen enter the scene in a big way (more on that in a minute), it's never too soon to look ahead to the future. And that's exactly what we have for you, as Jodie Whittaker's Doctor, Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Dan (John Bishop) confront the "Survivors of the Flux" in the fifth chapter of Series 13, with an overview that reads, "As the forces of evil mass, the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan face perilous journeys and seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their quest for survival." A little vague to say the least, but could the title be hinting at some much-needed assists on the way for the Doctor and Team TARDIS?

And let's not forget about the title and overview for the fourth episode of Series 13 (set to air on November 21st). The logline for "Chapter Four: Village of the Angels"  reads, "Devon, November 1967. A little girl has gone missing. Professor Eustacius Jericho is conducting psychic experiments. And in the village graveyard, there is one gravestone too many. Why is Medderton known as "The Cursed Village"? And what do the Weeping Angels want?" Now here's a look at the promo and overview for this Sunday's episode, "Chapter Three: Once, Upon Time":

Doctor Who: Flux "Chapter Three: Once, Upon Time": Time is beginning to run wild. On a planet that shouldn't exist, in the aftermath of apocalypse, the Doctor, Dan, Yaz, and Vinder face a battle to survive. Directed by Azhur Saleem and written by Chris Chibnall.

Now here's a look back at the official trailer for Doctor Who: Flux followed by the Series 13 overview:

She's back. The Thirteenth Doctor is returning for the thirteenth series in what is set to be a six-part Event Serial. Since their last epic battle in "Revolution of the Daleks," the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and Yaz (Mandip Gill) have been exploring the universe together but with the Doctor now questioning everything about her past there, she will undoubtedly be searching for answers. This adrenalin-fueled; universe-spanning series will also see an addition to the TARDIS with actor and comedian John Bishop joining the cast as Dan Lewis who will quickly learn there's more to the Universe than he could ever believe. Jacob Anderson ("Game of Thrones," "Broadchurch") is also set to make his debut on Doctor Who as reoccurring character Vinder. Jacob's new role will see him join forces with the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan as the Doctor faces her biggest ever adventure. Series 13 is set to introduce some terrifying new adversaries and the return of truly iconic old enemies. Expect action, fun, scares, extraordinary new worlds as the Doctor and her friends confront a deadly evil…

Joining Jacob Anderson's (Game of Thrones) Vinder in the cast are Robert Bathurst (Cold Feet, Toast Of London, Downton Abbey), Thaddea Graham (The Irregulars, Us), Blake Harrison (The Inbetweeners, A Very English Scandal, World On Fire), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean, Designated Survivor, Downton Abbey), Craig Parkinson (Line of Duty, Intergalactic, The English Game), Sara Powell (Unforgotten, Damned), Annabel Scholey (The Split, Britannia), Gerald Kyd (Cold Feet, Britannia), Penelope Ann McGhie (The Crown, Harry Potter), Rochenda Sandall (Line Of Duty), and Sam Spruell (The North Water).
