Only a few weeks remain until the next installment of Doctor Who enters Disney+. Starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor and Russell T. Davies as the series showrunner, this next installment will feature eight new episodes and a new companion. Now, we know what these new episode titles are called, hinting at what’s to come in this “wibbly wobbly, timey wimey” British science fiction series.
According to the official Doctor Who website, Season 2’s episode titles are “The Robot Revolution,” “Lux,” “The Well,” “Lucky Day,” “The Story & The Engine,” “The Interstellar Song Contest,” “Wish World,” and “The Reality War.” While the plot for most of these episodes remains unknown for the time being, it is safe to assume that the sixth episode takes inspiration from The Eurovision Song Contest. According to The Mirror, the episode in question is said to be the “most expensive” in the sci-fi series’ 62-year history.
Doctor Who Series 15 will feature the return of Millie Gibson, reprising her role as Ruby Sunday. Joining the series is Varada Sethu, who’s set to play the Doctor’s newest companion, Belinda Chandra, and previously appeared in series 14 in the episode “Boom.” The show is also set to star other notable celebrities, such as Alan Cumming, who’s cast to play the cartoon foe Mr Ring-a-Ding. It also teased the return of Anita Dobson (Mrs Flood), Bonnie Langford (Melanie Bush), Jemma Redgrave (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart), and Ruth Madeley (Shirley Bingham), just to name a few.
