Ah, Doctor Who. The moment has come and we were slightly prepared for it.
With the show sitting out SDCC this year (largely due to current strikes in the US with the WGA and SAG AFTRA), upcoming Doctor Ncuti Gatwa was recently interviewed for Rolling Stone. The interview didn't reveal too much about the upcoming series as such but Gatwa did drop an interesting soundbite about his personal connection to the role, not to mention this picture from the upcoming Christmas special.
Also after seven months of filming, both Millie Gibson and showrunner Russell T. Davies confirmed that filming for the upcoming series has wrapped. Ncuti Gatwa also confirmed that he will be returning for Series 15, rumoured to start filming from October.
Yup, the series will contain a Christmas special for this year and eight episodes for Series 14, all of which will feature Ncuti Gatwa's 15th Doctor and Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday. Guest stars will include Anita Dobson, Michelle Greenidge, Jinkx Monsoon, Aneurin Barnard, Jemma Redgrave, Indira Varma, Jonathan Groff, Bonnie Langford and Lenny Rush.
Going back to the upcoming 60th anniversary specials, well there's more to look forward to. The BBC Twitter account for the show revealed that novelisations for The Star Beast, Wild Blue Yonder and The Giggle will be released from January 2024. The novels will be penned by Gary Russell, Mark Morris and James Goss respectively. Russell T. Davies also confirmed the novels will contain extra stuff from the original scripts, including backstories to boot. I'm certainly looking forward to these and like Paul McGann's 8th Doctor, we'll have all of David Tennant's 14th Doctor in print.
In a bit of fun cross promotion earlier this week, the BBC and Warner Brothers got into the Barbie spirit by having a pink TARDIS on display. Ncuti Gatwa plays one of the Ken dolls in the movie, which stars both Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and will be in theatres from July 21st. Normally I wouldn't mention it but that pic was too cool not to post on here. The movie definitely looks like could be a big summer hit.
Series 14 has completed filming and will air on BBC1 and stream on Disney+ from 2024 while the 60th anniversary will be released in November.
