Russell previously said of the episodes, “If you thought David Tennant’s performance came as a shock, we have many more surprises on the way!”
“The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is filled with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how does it relate to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We’ll give you a year to speculate, and then all hell will break loose!’
Ncuti Gatwa takes on the role of the Fifteenth Doctor during the 2023 holiday season and will join soap star Millie Gibson, who was recently announced as Ruby Sunday – his companion.
