Disney+ and BBC have set a May 10, 2024 premiere date for the new season of Doctor Who. The new season starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday will be the first to debut on Disney+ and worldwide simultaneously.
“At last, it’s my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby’s adventures together. Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that’s been spanning time and space for decades. Don’t miss a second!,” teased showrunner, executive producer and writer Russell T Davies.
Guest stars include Aneurin Barnard, Anita Dobson, Yasmin Finney, Michelle Greenidge, and Jonathan Groff. Bonnie Langford, Genesis Lynea, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush, Indira Varma, and Angela Wynter also guest star. Phil Collinson, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter serve as executive producers, with Ben Chessell, Jamie Donoughue, Julie Anne Robinson, and Dylan Holmes Williams directing.
“This season of Doctor Who follows the Doctor and Ruby Sunday through infinite adventures across time and space in the TARDIS,” reads Disney+ and BBC’s synopsis. “From the Regency era in England to war-torn futures, the duo champion the forces of good while encountering incredible friends and dangerous foes.”
The season will kick off with “The Church on Ruby Road,” which premiered in December 2023, followed by the release of two new episodes.
* – The new season begins streaming on Friday, May 10 at 4pm PT/7PM on Disney+ in the US and internationally, with the exception of the UK. New episodes will be available to UK audiences on Saturday, May 11, at 12:00am GMT on BBC iPlayer, followed by BBC One later that day.
