The first ever female Doctor Who will premiere this October but on a new night!
BBC America has announced that Jodie Whittaker's first season (Season 11) will debut on Sunday, October 7. The premiere will be timed to the UK broadcast, followed by a prmetime encore in its new Sunday night time-slot (which remains TBA). In addition, the basic cabler has revealed the premiere episode title: "The Woman Who Fell to Earth."
Whittaker made her debut as the Doctor at the end of the 2017 Christmas special, when Peter Capaldi's Time Lord regenerated into the franchise's first ever female lead. Whittaker said that at the time of her casting, "It's more than an honor to play the Doctor. It means remembering everyone I used to be, while stepping forward to embrace everything the Doctor stands for: hope I can't wait."
With Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor for Season 11, there are three new companions: Bradley Walsh (LAw & Order: UK) as Graham, Tosin Cole (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Ryan and Mandip Gill (Hollyoaks) as Yasmin. In addition, Sharon D. Clarke (Holby City) will appear in an unspecified "returning role." Chris Chibnall (Broadchurch) tkaes the reins as showrunner, replacing Steven Moffat.
Are you excited for the new season and premiere date?
