The eagerly awaited inaugural trailer for Doctor Who, featuring Ncuti Gatwa, has just been unveiled, promising an exhilarating series of intergalactic escapades set against the backdrop of both prehistoric epochs and the vibrant 1960s. This teaser hints at an expanded array of extraterrestrial beings and mythical creatures, giving fans a tantalizing preview of the adventures ahead.
Revealed in this recently launched teaser, Ncuti Gatwa embarks on a journey that includes a dalliance with the iconic era of the Swinging Sixties, an aristocratic gathering reminiscent of Bridgerton, and a comically disastrous take on the butterfly effect. Enhanced by a significant budget increase, this season is poised to be the most visually stunning iteration of the Who saga.
Mark your calendars for Doctor Who's latest season premiere on May 10 in the United States and May 11 in the United Kingdom. The series will be accessible globally on Disney Plus and the BBC iPlayer in the UK, with a subsequent broadcast on BBC One that night.
This season marks Ncuti Gatwa's first venture as the iconic Time Lord, joining forces with Millie Gibson's character, Ruby Sunday, to forge an unforgettable legacy. Gatwa debuted as the Doctor during David Tennant's final 60th Anniversary special, outwitting Neil Patrick Harris' Toymaster in a remarkable 'bi-generation.'
The Fifteenth Doctor officially took the helm in the festive episode 'The Church on Ruby Road,' introducing the character of Ruby Sunday to audiences. Despite introducing a new Doctor, the production team features a mix of returning talents. Russell T Davies resumes his role as showrunner, and Steven Moffat is set to contribute an episode, his first since leaving the show in 2017.
Doctor Who is scheduled to return on May 10 in the US and May 11 in the UK on BBC and Disney Plus. For additional viewing options, explore the top series available on Disney Plus.
