The doctor is in!… Soon. Doctor Who‘s 13th doctor, Jodie Whittaker, has been announced a year ago, but it’s only now that we get a sneak peek of her debut series as the time-traveling two-hearted alien who solves everyone’s problems with cleverness and good-natured humor.
The BBC has just released a teaser trailer for series 11 of Doctor Who, tentatively set to premiere in the fall of 2018 (though no date has been set yet).
Other than showing us a glimpse of the 13th doctor grinning at us in her new outfit, we also get introduced to her new companions. And while most of the doctors only had one or two friends aboard their spaceship, the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), no.13 is getting a whole crew!
Meet Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yasmin (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh)!
New showrunner Chris Chibnall also promised brand new foes for Jodie Whittaker’s doctor.
“We’ve got a new Doctor, all-new characters, all-new monsters, all-new stories,” Chibnall told the Radio Times. “It’s going to be exciting, emotional and the most enormous fun.”
He also promised the new series would be accessible for any new viewers who may want to jump in and join the fun without having to watch over 50 years’ worth of Doctor Who!
“It was really important to me that there’s no barrier to entry,” Chibnall said in his Radio Times interview. “You don’t need to know about anything that’s come before.”
