Sci-fi lovers rejoice: Doctor Who returns to Disney+ on April 12 for more adventures. The new era of the hit BBC series was hugely anticipated, as it saw the return of beloved showrunner Russell T. Davies. The show also introduced the newest doctor, Nctui Gatwa, known for his much-loved role as Eric in Netflix' s Sex Education.

BBC’s Doctor Who will return for its fifteenth and Gatwa’s second season as the titular character in April this year. The show is scheduled to premiere on April 12, 2025. The latest season will have eight episodes, each airing weekly on Saturday.

Doctor Who’s newest season hits Disney Plus on April 12th. A little doom and dread always helps Doctor Who hit that much harder, and the show’s new season 2 trailer makes it seem like it’s going to come out swinging when it returns to Disney Plus in a few weeks.

There is some speculation that Gatwa has even filmed his regeneration scene, which would spark the end of his time on the show. While the beauty of Doctor Who is that the series can easily replace the actor in that role, the possibility of Gatwa leaving the show after what would be just two seasons in the role could have a devastating impact.

The BBC has issued a statement in response to reports that Doctor Who is set to be axed following news that Ncuti Gatwa has stepped down from the titular role.

Now, the rest of the trailer is light on Chandra’s backstory, so it’s possible she’s having a bit of a joke about yet-to-be-revealed circumstances, but it wouldn’t be the
