Last week BBC released a short teaser and poster revealing the release date for what they’re calling “Season 1” of a new Doctor Who (we gotta get out of the habit of calling it Season 14). Today they followed that up with a full trailer, as well as an expanded cast list.
We already know Ncuti Gatwa will be playing the Fifteenth Doctor and his companion, Ruby Sunday, will be played by Millie Gibson — because we met them already. But here are some of the colorful cast members they’ll run into as they cross time and space: the Duchess, seen in the trailer and played by Indira Varma when the Doctor visits Regency-era England. They’ll also visit the prehistoric era, the 1960s, and an apocalyptic future they’re trying to prevent.
Other cast members include Aneurin Barnard (Barkskins) as “Roger ap Gwilliam,” Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter) and Genesis Lynea (Casualty), and Lenny Rush (Dodger) as “Morris.” Returning actors include Anita Dobson as Mrs. Flood, Yasmin Finney (Heartstoppers) as Rose Noble, Michelle Greenidge (Code 404) and Angela Wynter (EastEnders) as Carla and Cherry Sunday, Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Bonnie Langford (EastEnders) as Melanie Bush.
For the first time, America will receive new Who episodes before its native country: we’ll get them on Fridays and they’ll air on the BBC on Saturdays. Disney+ will premiere two episodes to kick off the season, as they usually do with everything, followed by new episodes weekly until the season is complete. Doctor Who makes its official Disney+ debut May 10.
