Sethu’s name was first mentioned in connection with Doctor Who in January when rumors about Millie Gibson’s departure made the headlines. BBC finally decided to address the speculations, and it turns out Sethu won’t be replacing Gibson, but joining Gatwa as his second companion, instead.

Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed Sethu’s casting and revealed she already started shooting her scenes alongside Gatwa and Gibson.

“I first worked with Varada on a BBC production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and it’s a joy to welcome her on board the TARDIS… We’ve got Ncuti, Millie, and Varada fighting side by side–we need all three because the stakes are higher than ever,” said Davies in a statement.

Varada Sethu previously worked with Disney+ on the Star Wars series Andor, and she feels like the luckiest person in the world to join Doctor Who. She thanked the show’s fans for welcoming her with open arms and added she’s looking forward to going on adventures with Gatwa and Gibson.

Whovians welcomed Gibson with open arms after she made her debut as Ruby Sunday in the 2023 Christmas special “The Church on Ruby Road” alongside Gatwa. She’s expected to return in the show’s upcoming fourteenth season, set to premiere in May, but this will also mark the last time she boards the Tardis.

Gibson won’t be around when Doctor Who returns for Season 15, and Mirror reports that showrunner Russell T Davies was the one who made this call. Ruby Sunday will conclude her journey with the Doctor by the time Season 14 wraps up and she’s not expected to be back for the 2024 Christmas special.

Davies already found a replacement for Gibson in the Andor actress Varada Sethu, who’s set to become Gatwa’s next companion in Season 15. A source close to the production discussed her casting with BBC and said that Davies was “just blown away by her talent”, adding that the cast and crew have really warmed to her.

The teaser opens with Tate’s Donna Noble pondering about the past saying, “Sometimes, I think there’s something missing. Like I had something lovely and it’s gone.” During her original run on the show, Donna’s memories of her time with the Doctor were erased so she could survive, but the new taser hints at her reunion with Tennent’s Doctor.

The teaser also features Neil Patrick Harris as the show’s new villain and Yasmin Finney as Rose, but the biggest revelation comes in the very last seconds. Gatwa appears at the end of the teaser, asking a question on everyone’s mind – “Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?”

Doctor Who is celebrating its 60th anniversary next year, with Russell T Davies returning as showrunner. Tennant will make a comeback as the Doctor in the three-hour anniversary special in November before Gatwa takes over in Season 14, set to premiere in 2024.

Gatwa is taking reigns from Jodie Whittaker, who became the first female Time Lord in 2017. She announced her departure in 2021 and is set to make her final appearance in the last in a trio of specials, which is expected to air on BBC this October.

She’ll be replaced by Gatwa, who said he’s “honored, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared” to play the Doctor and join forces with Russell T Davies, who’s returning as the showrunner.

“Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground,” said Gatwa.

Gatwa is best known for his role in Sex Education, for which he received three nominations for the BAFTA Television Awards. We’ll next get to see him in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in lead roles.

Both Fry and Henry have joined Doctor Who for reportedly major roles. They join a list of former guest stars which includes James Corden to Maisie Williams, among others. 

Earlier this week it was confirmed that series 12 of the hit show had finally finished filming, with Jodie Whittaker at the helm as the famous Time Lady.

“It was absolutely brilliant to be welcomed into the fantastical world of Doctor Who,” said Henry. “The nearest I have been to the TARDIS was when I played the Caribbean Doctor in the Lenny Henry Show, so as a lifelong (hiding-behind-the-sofa-type) Doctor Who fan, this is a very special moment for me.”

Added Fry, “Short of being picked for a British space exploration program, and I readily concede that I’m past the age where I’d be considered (if I was ever the right age for such a posting), then being in an episode of Doctor Who will certainly do as a very sweet second-place excitement.”

Season 12 is set to premiere in early 2020.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the first female Time Lord will be returning for the upcoming 12th season. Whittaker told the outlet exclusively, “I really can’t wait to step back in and get to work again. It’s such an incredible role. It’s been an extraordinary journey so far and I’m not quite ready to hand it over yet.”

While the BBC hasn’t officially confirmed who is playing the Doctor in the upcoming season, it was largely presumed that the 26-year-old isn’t going anywhere.

Whittaker earned widespread praise for her work on Doctor Who, especially her portrayal of the first female Doctor in the show’s 55-year history. According to the outlet, the season 11 premiere garnered ratings of 10.9 million in the UK, making it the biggest season launch for the show.

Season 12 is expected to start shooting in early 2019.

“I went to what I thought was just a final audition and a chat with all the grownups,” – the 36-year-old actress said. I was being all steely and when they told me the part was mine, I just started crying. They started telling me lots of important things about the role and all I could think was, ‘I really want to WhatsApp someone'”

Whittaker also added that she felt “joy, fear, and responsibility” to the fans.

Since its premiere in 1963, Doctor Who always had a male lead, with 12 actors playing the role of The Doctor. After Peter Capaldi, who played the Twelfth Doctor, decided to leave the show in 2017, BBC decided to take a different approach and choose a female lead with Jodie Whittaker eventually getting the part. This decision caused some controversy, but most of the fans ended up being pleased with the decision after Whittaker made her debut in Doctor Who’s 2017 Christmas special, “Twice Upon a Time.” Season 11 of the show is set to premiere on October 4th.

Before becoming the Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whittaker gained recognition for her work in television series Black Mirror, Broadchurch and The Smoke. She also portrayed roles in movies like Get Santa, Black Sea and Adult Life Skills.

The main reason why there was so much buzz surrounding this teaser was the debut of the 13th Doctor. Jodie Whittaker was cast in the role about a year ago, and some backlash followed. Small, but vocal group expressed their disdain after Broadchurch star became the first woman to ever play the titular role. The actress encouraged them to keep an open mind and not be scared of her gender.

“This is a really exciting time, and Doctor Who represents everything that’s exciting about change. The fans have lived through so many changes, and this is only a new, different one, not a fearful one,” said Whittaker.

New teaser didn’t reveal much, but it gave fans what they needed – a first glimpse at what’s yet to come. The three new companions can be seen going about their everyday lives before the new Doctor enchants them with her time-twisting magic. They will be played by Tosin Cole, Mandip Gill and Bradley Walsh, when the new season of Doctor Who premiers this fall.

Chibnall told EW: “[t]here were these three stories. I wouldn’t want to do repeated versions of these crimes. I don’t think that would ring true to me. So, at the moment, I don’t think I have another story for this world and I’m not sure that will change, really. So, I think it’s probably goodbye for good.”

While it looks like the end for Broadchurch, Chibnall will be keeping busy as he is replacing Steve Moffat on Doctor Who as showrunner. Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker will be joining him as a new character on Doctor Who. 

When asked why he won’t take Broadchurch abroad, he said that many have suggested that in the past. “I think wherever David Tennant and Olivia Colman might wish to spend a few months of their year… Yeah, Hawaii could be good. France. New Zealand. I’m sure you’d have eager ears from some of the cast!”
