David Tennant Returns as DOCTOR WHO in New Trailer Featuring Co-Star Catherine Tate
Former Doctor Who star David Tennant is back as the Doctor in a new trailer for the series of three specials to celebrate the show’s 60th anniversary. Tennant played the 10th Doctor in the series, from 2006-2008, and is now returning, making Tennant also the 14th Doctor. He takes over from 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker. He is being joined by Catherine Tate, who plays the Time Lord’s longtime sidekick Donna Noble.
The titles of the three specials, which are set to air in November, have also been unveiled. They are “The Star Beast,” “Wild Blue Yonder,” and “The Giggle.”
The trailer also stars Heartstopper’s Yasmin Finney and How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris, who are joining the franchise.
Showrunner Russell T Davies said of the specials: “The titles are just the beginning of the Doctor’s biggest adventure yet. Autumn is coming, with three hours of danger, Donna and disaster about to be unleashed!”
Meanwhile, Ncuti Gatwa is set to take over as the 15th Doctor, with his series set to drop at the end of the year. He will be joined by Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday. Production is already underway with the BBC unveiling a sneak peek of the duo clad in ’60s garb.
The new Doctor Who specials and upcoming series will premiere in the U.K. and Ireland on the BBC. They will be available internationally on Disney+.
