Bonnie Langford to Return to ‘Doctor Who’ As Mel Bush Alongside Ncuti Gatwa,Game of Thrones star Indira Varma is the latest name announced to be joining Doctor Who for its upcoming fourteenth season.
Following the BBC’s co-production deal with Welsh company Bad Wolf Studios and global distribution deal with Disney+, the future of Doctor Who looks bright, and it starts with Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson’s new companion, Ruby Sunday.
As of 2023 though, it’s been a while since the last series of Doctor Who – while we’ve had the six-part miniseries Flux, aka Series 13, and a series of specials throughout 2022 and 2023 — there hasn’t been a full-length run since Jodie Whittaker’s second series in early 2020.
Then again, given the COVID-19 pandemic and filming restrictions that followed, it’s a marvel that we’ve had any new Doctor Who at all. But with returning head writer and executive producer Russell T. Davies spearheading the next era, the plan is to return to annual Doctor Who series going forward.
Filming on the eight-episode series began in December 2022, with directors Mark Tonderai, (who made 2018 episodes The Ghost Monument and Rosa) Dylan Holmes Williams, (Apple TV’s Servant) and Julie Anne Robinson (Netflix’s Bridgerton) behind the camera on the new series’ first three production blocks.
But what can we expect to see and when will it be on TV? There’s already plenty to look forward to, so let’s take a look at what we know so far…
