We’ve already gotten a peak at Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor in “The Giggle” and the Christmas Special “The Church on Ruby Road,” but later this month we’ll get to see him tackle the role for an entire season .
Doctor Who season 14 premieres at 7:00pm on May 10. Showrunner Russell T. Davies, who previously worked on seasons 1 through 4 post-revival, is back, and as always he’s trying to raise the stakes on The Doctor’s story. The show has a brand-new cast with some familiar faces working behind the scenes, like Steven Moffat returning to write the episode “Boom.” Season 14 is already off to a promising start.

Is there a Doctor Who season 14 trailer?
So far we’ve gotten two full length trailers for Doctor Who season 14. The first one dropped at the end of March, and it gave us a look at the relationship between The Doctor and his new companion Ruby, as well as some peaks at their travel destinations. It looks like dinosaurs are going to be in the mix again, and there’s apparently going to be a supernatural bend to some of these adventures.
While our core duo is galivanting through time, Ruby’s family back home in London seem to be – probably rightly – concerned about her safety. The second trailer shows us a fiercely angry Doctor threatening to destroy an entire battlefield, but we aren’t told why. My money is on yet another companion being at risk of death or complete deletion from the timeline. The show may be more than 50 years old, but some things never change.
Who’s in the Doctor Who season 14 cast?
The Doctor Who season cast obviously includes Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th version of the titular character and Millie Gibson as The Doctor’s new companion Ruby. Ruby’s adoptive mother and grandmother will be played by Michelle Greenridge and Angela Wynter, respectively. The season’s main antagonist, a villain called Maestro, will be played by Jinkx Monsoon.
The show also has some returning characters like former companion Melania Bush, played by Bonnie Langford. Jemma Redgrave is also back as Kate Stewart, the head of Unit, and we’ll be seeing Donna Noble’s daughter Rose, once again played by Yasmin Finney.
There will also be an array of new historical characters to meet. Jonathan Groff is joining the show in an episode with big Bridgerton vibes. In another episode The Doctor and Ruby will meet The Beatles, with John, Paul, George, and Ringo being played by Chris Mason, George Caple, Philip Davies, and James Hoyles.
Season 14 looks like the most thrilling collection of Doctor Who adventures we’ve gotten in a long while, and I can’t wait to tune in with the rest of the world when the season kicks off on Disney Plus at 7:00pm on May 11.
