Article Summary

  • New Doctor Who season starring Ncuti Gatwa & Millie Gibson debuts May 2024.
  • BBC iPlayer trailer reveals a fresh lineup, including the revived series Gladiators & Traitors.
  • New season teaser confirms Yasmin Finney & a star-studded cast addition for new series.

We've celebrated its 60th anniversary and spent the holiday season with the long-running series – and now? Well, Russell T. Davies has a new series of adventures starring Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor & Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday on the way – in May 2024. Okay, we will readily admit that five months seems like a long time – but remember how quickly RTD and his team made the past year go by before the anniversary eps finally hit? The next few months are going to fly by – with things like the following 2024 trailer from BBC iPlayer helping make that hope a reality.

A big update on Christmas Day, with the official teaser & press release for Season 1 confirming Yasmin Finney returning as Rose Noble. Along with Jemma Redgrave (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart), Aneurin Barnard (Roger ap Gwilliam), and Jack Forsyth-Noble (Will), Doctor Who Magazine #589 also confirmed that Bhav Joshi (Wedding Season), Eilidh Loan (Traces), Pete MacHale (Gangs of London), Miles Yekinni (Slow Horses), and Hemi Yeroham (Mamma Mia!) have joined the cast for the new series. In addition, Jinkx Monsoon (RuPaul's Drag Race) was also confirmed to have joined the cast – followed by Jonathan Groff (Glee, Mindhunter) and Indira Varma (Obsession, Game of Thrones) – as The Duchess – in May 2023.

Bonnie Langford was confirmed to be returning as Melanie Bush in June 2023, along with Lenny Rush (Am I Being Unreasonable) as Morris. In early August 2023, we also learned that Gemma Arrowsmith (Gemma Arrowsmith Sketched Out) and Mary Malone (Vera, The Prince) had joined the Christmas Special – while Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy (Hollyoaks) and Billy Brayshaw (Still So Awkward) had joined the Series 14 cast. In November 2023, we also learned that Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls, Bridgerton) was set to guest star in the 2024 Christmas Special. On the writing side, we learned late last month that Kate Herron (Loki, Sex Education) & Briony Redman (Pont Brec) had co-written the episode that Groff and Varma are starring in during the upcoming series.

And here's a look at composer Murray Gold, Segun Akinola, and the BBC National Orchestra performing our upcoming Doctor's new theme – along with some words from RTD near the end:
