澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Who season 1 is just around the corner now, and it's set to launch a brand new era for the beloved sci-fi show. Following quite the entrance in last year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road (after debuting, of course, via the show's first ever bi-generation in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Giggle), Ncuti Gatwa💞 will take the reins of the TARDIS for his first full season, which will also see the return of Millie Gibson's companion Ruby 🐎Sunday.

The team are keeping their cards pretty close to their chests regarding what fans can expect, although they did recently tease that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询𒐪:episode 5 would have Black Mirro💦r vibes, but one thing we do know is that the show will be looking ahead instead of back as it diꦕves into this new chapter - hence, they are calling it season 1.

out on Thursday April 25, which features Furiosa on the cover: "The amount we talk about previous Doctors on set is zero. They’re wonderful people but Doctor Who exists in the present and future. There’s a roster of wonderful companions behind us, too… Doctor Who has moments where it looks back but it’s more exciting to look forward."

And there is plenty to look forward to, as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first look at Gatwa's second season (which is currently shooting) last week unveiled a new companion, played by Andor star Varada Sethu. Don't fear though, Gibson isn't going anywhere and is staying on as the Doctor's companion too. As Davies told our sister publication 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine, Ruby will play a crucial role in the story: "Not leaving. Not at all. We were ordered for two years of a series off Disney, and we're delivering two years, and the Ruby Sunday story literally spans those two yea🐼rs."

Doctor Who releases on BBC One and iPlayer (UK) on May 11 and Disney Plus (globally) on May 10. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the🅺 new issue of Tot𒐪al Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Thursday, April 25.
