Doctor Who Season 14 is upon us, and it promises to usher in a bold new era for the legendary sci-fi series.
Following his captivating debut in ‘The Church on Ruby Road,’ Ncuti Gatwa will embark on his first full-fledged season as the enigmatic Doctor, piloting the iconic TARDIS. Joining him on this adventure is the intrepid companion Ruby Sunday, portrayed by the talented Millie Gibson.
The creative team behind the show is remaining tight-lipped about specific plot details, teasing only that ‘there will be a new way of storytelling.’ However, one thing is abundantly clear: Doctor Who is resolutely looking forward, not back, as it embarks on this exciting new chapter.
Showrunner Russell T Davies emphasizes this forward-looking approach, stating that referencing previous iterations of the Doctor is non-existent on set. Instead, the focus is on crafting compelling narratives that push the show’s boundaries.
And there’s plenty to anticipate. Amidst ongoing filming, a new companion has emerged: the enigmatic character portrayed by Andor’s Varada Sethu. Fret not, though, as Gibson’s Ruby remains an integral component of the Doctor’s journey.
‘Ruby’s story spans the entire two years,’ Davies reveals, highlighting her pivotal role in the upcoming season. ‘She’s not leaving.’
Doctor Who Season 14 is poised to captivate audiences when it premieres on BBC One and iPlayer (UK) on May 11 and Plus (globally) on May 10. Dive into the latest issue of Total Film, hitting shelves and digital newsstands on April 25, for exclusive insights and behind-the-scenes scoops.
