Doctor who when is the new season

I hope so! Towards the end of the series 12 finale there was also a hint that the Master may have escaped another certain death. And indeed Martin has herself gone on record to state that she hopes to return to the show — or perhaps even be given her own spin-off series. I would absolutely love it.

I want a scene with him. You know what I mean? So I think that costume needs to get worn again by me. Of course, given the high profile return of John Barrowman last series and again in the festive special, viewers will be wondering if any other fan favourites from years gone by will be returning to the show. Donna Noble had been mooted for a return by some fans after Catherine Tate was allegedly spotted in Liverpool while a shoot was taking place, however those claims were denied by her representative.

Oliver told RadioTimes. Meanwhile, Kingston told RadioTimes. But I would like River to meet her, and plant a big, fat kiss on her! Apparently, actor Steve Oram will have a role in the new series too, though this has not been officially announced. A lot is being kept under wraps about Doctor Who: Flux, but we know some details including the synopsis for the first episode, The Halloween Apocalypse. On Halloween, all across the universe, terrifying forces are stirring.

From the Arctic Circle to deep space, an ancient evil is breaking free. And in present day Liverpool, the life of Dan Lewis is about to change forever. And of course, certain revelations in the season 12 finale episode The Timeless Children — namely that the Doctor was a being from another dimension who was harvested by the Time Lords for regeneration , and subsequently lived countless lifetimes that were later removed from her mind — are likely to be picked up in season 13 itself, especially after the Doctor mentions these issues again in festive special Revolution of the Daleks.

Mandip Gill has suggested the series will also see Yaz continuing to deal with her former mental health issues. Jamie Magnus Stone is returning to direct episodes 1, 2 and 4, with 3, 5 and 6 directed by Azhur Saleem. Looking for something else to watch? Sign in. Back to Main menu What to watch Film news.

A third special is then scheduled to air to coincide with the BBC's centenary celebrations in autumn , which will also act as Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's swansong.

The second preview shows off very little, but gives us brief glimpses of a number of new planets, as well as newcomers Dan and Vinder. The Doctor and returning companion Yaz both feature heavily, too. A few moments to highlight in chronological order include: killer robots, the TARDIS rocketing through the time vortex, Dan falling on his face in an environment that seems Egyptian, the Doctor and Yaz flying across a planet while holding onto a glider, and Yaz telling a guilty-looking Doctor that she is "hiding something.

Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill will return to their respective roles, while Chris Chibnall will once again act as showrunner. Ed Hime and Maxine Alderton both return as writers, with Segun Akinola likewise composing the thirteenth series after joining in season Jamie Magnus Stone and Azhur Saleem were both confirmed as directors for the six-episode run. The Liverpool-born and bred comic previously held roles in seasons 3 and 4 of Skins, as well as the ITV crime thriller drama Fearless.

This is inarguably Bishop's biggest role in acting to date. While few details are out there about the plot of season 13 right now, we do know that the six episodes will tell an overarching story — the first time this has happened since 's The Trial of a Timelord serial with Colin Baker.

The weekly cliffhangers are also very reminiscent of classic Who with stories commonly being between four to six episodes. The Doctor blasts it with vortex energy from the TARDIS, but it seems to do nothing to the Flux, leaving the Doctor wondering what to do to try and stop the end of the universe In War of the Sontarans, we joined the trio waking up on what they learned was a battlefield near Sevastopol during the Crimean War after they were found by Mary Seacole.

The Doc works out that blasting the Flux with vortex energy had catapulted her, Dan, and Yaz back in time, but something was wrong. The British soldiers weren't ready for a fight with Russian troops, but Sontarans! Due to the reaction, Yaz and Dan begin to fade out of existence as they were sent elsewhere in time; Dan got sent back home to present-day Liverpool which is also overrun with Sontaran forces, and Yaz found herself transported to the Temple of Atropos on the planet Time, where she met Vinder.

The Doctor worked with Seacole to understand where the Sontarans had come from and unsuccessfully tried to prevent Lieutenant-General Logan from facing them in battle. Meanwhile, Dan's parents save him from being captured and help him get to Liverpool docks, where he makes his way aboard one of their spaceships.

In the Temple of Atropos, Vinder explains that the Temple Guardians are broken, and that Time which is a force that flows through the Temple is destabilizing, and that they're being asked whether they can fix it. Dan makes contact with the Doctor; with the info he'd gathered in the present, the Doctor works out the Sontarans planned to conquer Earth by invading at multiple time periods right before the Lupari encircled the planet, and the pair resolve to stop the Sontarans in their respective time periods.

Karvanista arrives to rescue Dan at the last second, and the pair manage to hijack one ship and crash it into the others.

Meanwhile, the Doctor gets the British troops to sabotage the Sontaran spaceships in , but Logan rigs them to explode as they begin to retreat out of revenge for all his fallen troops earlier that day. Back in the Temple, Swarm and his sister Azure arrive; Yaz and Vinder are captured by them and trapped in place of the missing Temple Guardians by the two villains.

When Dan and the Doctor set out to find Yaz, the TARDIS gets hijacked and arrives in the Temple, where the Doctor learns what's happening to Time itself, and Swarm threatens that he will force the full power of Time itself through Yaz's body, just as the credits rolled! We were keeping up with the rumors ahead of the show's return Some fans spotted a synopsis for a Captain Jack comic book tie-in briefly suggested it would link closely with the second episode of season Although Jodie's first season was dominated by new monsters and alien races, that all changed when the Daleks, the Master, the Judoon, and the Cybermen became important in series As we've now seen, returning monsters are set to play a big role in Doctor Who: Flux, although we already knew that the Sontarans and the Weeping Angels would be back after some eagle-eyed fans spotted them during production!

Spooky goings on outside the house tonight in Penarth. Could it possibly involve a Doctor. Who knows?? Good to see the film industry starting up again. In the weeks leading up to the new series, we also learned that the Ravagers would be a key enemy this series, although we haven't heard the name in the show just yet.

Chris Chibnall explained that the Ravagers "are a couple of characters who we meet who are creatures of another dimension who have a history with the Doctor — but I even think with this I am giving too much away!

Since the Doctor couldn't recall ever meeting Swarm, perhaps he and his sister are the Ravagers? We'll find out soon enough One epic story.
