Several classics have been reappearing lately and Doctor Who has joined the list, announcing that it will be back on the screen with new protagonists and a story full of adventures, villains and aliens.

Ncuti Gatwa will be taking on the role of The Doctor during the nine episodes of the first season. However, David Tennant will also have some cameos in his former role but will only be present in three episodes.

Millie Gibson has been chosen to bring Ruby Sunday to life, accompanying the actor from Sex Education and Barbie as a co-lead. This time, the Time Lord travels through space and time with his companions, facing dangerous enemies.
