‘Doctor Who’ launches May 11 on Disney+
Calling across the Whoniverse! Disney Branded Television and BBC jointly announced the premiere date for the next “Doctor Who” installment, the first-ever season to launch on Disney+ and release simultaneously worldwide.
Beginning May 11 on Disney+ in the Philippines, audiences will return to “The Church on Ruby Road,” which premiered last December, and journey through two all-new episodes, featuring the 15th Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, and his companion Ruby Sunday, portrayed by Millie Gibson.
This season of “Doctor Who” follows the Doctor and Ruby through infinite adventures across time and space in the Tardis. From the Regency era in England to war-torn futures, the duo champions the forces of good while encountering incredible friends and dangerous foes.
Showrunner, executive producer and writer Russell T Davies said: “At last, it’s my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby’s adventures together. Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that’s been spanning time and space for decades. Don’t miss a second.”Previously announced guest cast includes Aneurin Barnard, Anita Dobson, Yasmin Finney, Michelle Greenidge, Jonathan Groff, Bonnie Langford, Genesis Lynea, Jemma Redgrave, Lenny Rush, Indira Varma and Angela Wynter.
