The brand-new season marks the full-time entrance of Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor following his debut in the 2023 Christmas special. The Doctor will be joined by companion Ruby Sunday (played by Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson) as they blast off into the cosmos in the TARDIS.

"This season will also see the return of Michelle Greenidge as Carla Sunday, Angela Wynter as Cherry Sunday and Anita Dobson as Mrs Flood as well as featuring an array of special guest stars including Jinkx Monsoon, Aneurin Barnard, Yasmin Finney, Jonathan Groff, Bonnie Langford, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush and Indira Varma."
