The New DOCTOR Will Be Announced on Sunday!
The wait for the 12th Doctor is almost over! The actor or actress has been chosen, and the BBC will officially make the Doctor Who announcement on Sunday, August 4th.
Showrunner Steven Moffat and the current Doctor, Matt Smith, are scheduled for the hour-long event called Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor, and it will be hosted by network personality Zoe Ball. When talking about leaving the series, Smith said,
"It's kind of business as usual. It is going to be emotional for me because it's been four years. It's a really transformative experience as an actor. We just kind of make the show though, don't we?"
The show will air at 7 p.m. GMT on Sunday, Aug. 4. in the U.K. For stateside viewers, BBC America will simulcast the special at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT. Here's the teaser!
