It’s back like you’ve never seen it before. The 40th season of Doctor Who, the outsized British sci-fi series that has been on and off screens for 50 years, will kick off next year with its first ever Black lead alongside a healthy budget boost coupled with several spin-offs. Anticipation surrounding the Doctor’s latest adventures rarely ramps down but there is extra bite with this one. Following his star breakout turn as Eric Effiong in Netflix’s Sex Education, Rwandan-Scottish star Gatwa is a popular choice to take the reins from Jodie Whittaker. Gatwa was brought to the show by returning showrunner Russell T. Davies, the man who helmed the first rebooted season in 2005, and Davies’ arrival preceded that of Disney+ and His Dark Materials indie Bad Wolf as co-production partners, bringing with them editorial expertise and a rocketing budget. Davies’ creative muscle has attracted a wealth of interesting talent for the 14th rebooted season including Jonathan Groff, Miriam Margolyes and Heartstopper star Yasmin Finney. With the might of BBC marketing behind it, these factors promise to come together to make something special of the latest eight-part series. Getting Whovians and rookie fans alike in the mood, a trio of Christmas specials are currently playing on the BBC, bringing back old favorites David Tennant and Catherine Tate to adventures watched by millions of viewers per episode.
