With Sex Education ended, Ncuti Gatwa has jumped into the world of Doctor Who for the BBC. His run as the Doctor had started in 2023, and now he’s ready for a second season with a whole new companion in the form of Varada Sethu.
The series premieres on April 12, and a new trailer has been dropped promising another crazy adventure with the Doctor. Check this out:
Though Gatwa’s Doctor was supposed to be partnered up with Millie Gibson for a while, they only managed to last for one season before Gibson had to leave the show. Now Sethu is taking over as new character Belinda Chandra, and it looks like she’s going to be having some very experimental stories with the Doctor this time—including an animated one.
Though there are some that testify that one Doctor is better than the other, each Doctor from David Tennant to Jodie Whittaker have their own fanbase who started the series when they were kids. It’s kind of like He-Man or Ninja Turtles that the property gets rebooted every few years so that a new generation of children can fall in love with the franchise.
It’s a bit silly as an adult to try and have strong opinions on Who because it’s honestly just a sci-fi show aimed at children with occasional historical hijinx and crazy low-budget aliens.
I do have to say though, it’s pretty cool that they got a way for Gatwa to just put on different outfits every episode because it might have been a pain to just keep him boxed into one outfit for his entire run.
Doctor Who premieres on the BBC and Disney+ on April 12.
