Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes featuring David Tennant as the 14th Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Gatwa's first episode as the 15th Doctor will air over the festive period, with Gibson, 18, becoming the youngest companion in the show's history.
Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa's first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will then air over the festive period.
David Tennant remains the favourite in the betting market to be the next Dr Who in the massive BBC series. Tennant has previously played the Doctor being the Tenth Doctor in the series, starring in the role from 2005-2010.
The Fifteenth Doctor will be the next incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who. He will be portrayed by Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa. Gatwa is the first black actor and the fourth Scottish actor to lead the series.
Who is the new Doctor Who? On May 8, 2022, the BBC revealed that Ncuti Gatwa will play the Doctor in the 14th season of Doctor Who in 2023. This makes him the 14th actor to play the role as a regular on the series and the 16th Doctor overall. (John Hurt and Jo Martin have played other “secret” versions of the Doctor.)
The series will introduce Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, a new incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in the TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box from the outside. The series also introduces Millie Gibson as the Doctor's newest companion, Ruby Sunday.
Marking the show's 60th anniversary this year, Tennant is returning as the Fourteenth Doctor amid three TV specials, before passing the baton on to Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, who was confirmed as the next Doctor in May last year.
2023 also saw the departure of mainstay Karen Hollins (Jan Pearson) after fourteen years.
Widely considered the most popular Doctor ever, Tennant brought a whole new audience to the already beloved show.
The franchise returns in November, with three special episodes starring Tennant as the 14th Doctor, following the 13th Doctor portrayed by Jodie Whittaker. The trio of episodes mark the 60th anniversary of the show.
She's already conquered Drag Race and Broadway – now Jinkx Monsoon is coming for The Doctor as their “most powerful enemy yet”.
The reveal of the 2024 companion feels like a throwback. The Doctor is traveling with only one human. In Doctor Who Season 14, coming 2024, not only will the eponymous Time Lord regenerate into Ncuti Gatwa but he'll also be joined by a human named Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson.
One possible in-universe reason the Fourteenth Doctor is so similar to the Tenth is that the Master's forced regeneration somehow messed with the Doctor's regenerative ability.
Even before the airing of the Doctor Who 60th-anniversary specials, David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor has the perfect final line before regenerating. David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor already has the perfect final line for his regeneration into Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth in Doctor Who.
David Tennant returns as Doctor Who, which celebrates 60th anniversary with three new specials. Tennant takes the lead after Jodie Whittaker's Doctor.
Donna Noble Makes Her Long-Awaited Return To The Franchise
That episode aired way back in January 2010, bringing us to 2023 and the year of the franchise's 60th-anniversary celebration. Based on footage of the teaser trailer for the upcoming specials, The Doctor and Donna Noble will finally reunite.
Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor, coinciding with the long-running series' 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa's first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will then air over the period.
Each of these three specials will see David Tennant make his full return to the titular role (as the Fourteenth Doctor, not the Tenth) and will air to coincide with the show's celebrations. The exact date of the three episodes is unknown, but what we do know is that they will each air sometime in November 2023.
Ncuti Gatwa, a star of the Netflix series “Sex Education,” will be the first Black man to play the lead role of the Doctor in “Doctor Who,” the long-running British science fiction franchise about a time-traveling adventurer, the BBC announced on Sunday.
The longest-lasting on-screen incarnation is the Fourth Doctor, played by Tom Baker for seven years. Within the narrative, these changes were explained as regeneration, a biological process which heals a Time Lord when their incarnation is about to die.
