Season two of the revamped sci-fi series under Russell T Davies and co-produced by Disney sees the arrival of Andor actress Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra. In the teaser, which you can watch below, we see Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor protecting Chandra.
The Doctor meets Chandra and embarks on an epic quest to bring her back to Earth. But a mysterious force prevents their return, and the time-travelling TARDIS team must face greater dangers, greater enemies and greater horrors than ever before.
Sethu joins the cast alongside Millie Gibson, who continues to play Ruby Sunday and also features in the teaser. Strictly Come Dancing winner Rose Ayling-Ellis is also on board for the next season.
The teaser comes as the Christmas special Joy to the World has aired. The special, starring Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, saw a secret passage to a Time Hotel opened, revealing a deadly plot to take Earth.
Season two of the revamped Doctor Who (2024) is expected to air in a few months, with a decision likely to be made sometime around that time on whether Disney will continue to invest in the series.
