“There’s no such thing as monsters, only creatures you haven’t met yet,” declares the regenerated Time Lord in new trailer for “Doctor Who’s” upcoming temporal jaunts.
Prepare for a wholly reimagined dimension of wibbly wobbly, time wimey adventures when “Doctor Who” kicks off its full 14th season at a new home on Disney+ following November’s 60th anniversary and December’s Christmas Special with two new episodes launching on May 10 in the U.S. on May 11 in the U.K.
Veteran showrunner Russell T. Davies is apt to ruffle a few diehards’ feathers with his polarizing changes in the “Doctor Who” universe, starring Ncuti Gatwa (“Sex Education”) as the fifteenth incarnation of the Doctor and Millie Gibson (“Coronation Street”) portraying his TARDIS companion Ruby Sunday, when the time-hopping duo encounters “a terrifying secret that’s been spanning time and space for decades.”

Here’s the official season description:
“Within the upcoming series, audiences will see the Doctor and Ruby travel through time and space on adventures to unknown lands, to the Regency era in England, to outer space worlds and the Sixties.”

Davies’ slight departure in style and tone for “Doctor Who” will steer strongly into the franchise’s nostalgia and will feature a diverse roster of foes and friends both new and old. Apparently Gibson’s series longevity has already been cut short as it was announced back in January that she’ll be swapped out for Varada Sethu (“Jurassic World Dominion”) as the Time Lord’s companion for the 15th season.
