Doctor Who - Series 15 (Season 2) Preview

Following the airing of Joy To The World, we got our first preview of Series 15 (Season 2) of Doctor Who. Trailer wise, briefer than I'd like but enough to mull over.


The official blurb for the 2025 series as follows ....

The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) meets Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) and begins an epic quest to get her back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-traveling TARDIS team must face great dangers, ferocious enemies and wilder terrors than ever before.

From that brief trailer alone, it certainly seemed like Belinda won't be a willing traveller with the Doctor, at least not at first. An exclusive clip from the Doctor Who Unleashed episode also implied that Belinda may have something in common with a former Russell T. Davies era companion.


As for returning characters. Yes, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) is back and working with UNIT alumni Kate Stewart (Jemma Redgrave), Shirley Anne Bingham (Ruth Madaley) and Colonel Cristofer Ibrahim (Alexander Devrient). The trailer also showed us a return of the mysterious Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson) along with a look at different monsters and locations. However we didn't see anything of Jonah Hauer-King and Archie Panjabi, both of whom we know will have prominent roles in the upcoming series.


Speaking of roles, former EastEnders star Rose Ayling-Ellis was also confirmed to be appearing in the scariest episode in the upcoming series but not much else was revealed about her character. It was recently confirmed by Russell T. Davies on The One Show that the next series will arrive sooner than expected. If I were to guess, I'd say much earlier in Spring compared to last series. 


Series 15 of Doctor Who will air in early 2025 on BBC1, iPlayer and Disney+ respectively.
