The highly anticipated new season of Doctor Who is set to premiere on streamer Disney+ this Friday, featuring leading stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. Gatwa, known for his roles in Sex Education and Barbie, and Gibson, a rising talent from Coronation Street, are ready to take viewers on a thrilling time-and-space adventure.
One surprising element of the new season is the inclusion of singing and dancing, which the actors did not expect when they signed up for the show. Showrunner Russell T Davies had a clear vision for incorporating these elements into the script, adding a unique twist to the sci-fi series.
In the season opener, titled 'Space Babies,' the show tackles the topic of refugees, highlighting the existence of crises beyond Earth. The episode also features adorable babies, sparking some humorous moments on set but not necessarily making the actors broody.
Despite the secrecy surrounding the plot, the actors have received support from past Doctor Who cast members, with Mandip Gill and Jodie Whittaker reaching out to offer advice and encouragement. Gibson even sought guidance from Karen Gillan, emphasizing the camaraderie among those who have portrayed companions in the series.
As the show continues to captivate audiences with its intricate storytelling and diverse characters, fans can look forward to more surprises and mysteries unfolding in future episodes. Doctor Who premieres on Disney+ this Friday, with new episodes airing weekly.
