While Doctor Who fans are still half a year away from the show’s 60th anniversary being celebrated with the return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate (with the twist being that the former is playing the current Fourteenth Doctor rather than the past Tenth incarnation), production is currently chugging along for Season 14, featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday, his new companion. Last month, we got some shagadelic looks at Gatwa and Gibson in sharp ‘60s attire, and now they’re back rocking some awesome Bridgerton-style costumes. This time though, they’re accompanied by Jonathan Groff.
It was announced last week that the Frozen and Hamilton star has joined Doctor Who in what’s being described as a “mysterious and exciting guest role.” This prompted speculation from a segment of the fanbase that Groff is taking over as the new Captain Jack Harkness from John Barrowman. While that has yet to be officially debunked, we now at least have our first taste of him alongside the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Tuesday in their episode together.
