Sethu was mentioned as a potential replacement for Gibson after the rumors about her departure started circling around in January. Fans were made to believe that Gibson would step down, leaving it up to Sethu to serve as Gatwa’s next companion, but BBC decided to go in a different direction.

Both Sethu and Gibson will board the Tardis alongside Gatwa when he returns for his second full season as the Time Lord. According to the showrunner Russell T Davies, they’ll have this trio fighting side by side because the stakes will be higher than ever in the next season and we’ll need all three to defeat the common enemy.

Varada Sethu is best known as the star of the Disney+ series Andor, and her credits also include TV shows Strike Back: Revolution and Strike Back: Vendetta and movies Jurassic World Dominion and I Came By. She previously collaborated with Davies on BBC’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2016.

The new teaser gives us a sneak peek at the show’s three-hour 60th-anniversary special, set to premiere on BBC in November. It opens with Catherine Tate’s Donna Noble reminiscing about the past she doesn’t remember saying, “Sometimes, I think there’s something missing. Like I had something lovely and it’s gone.”

David Tennant also makes a comeback, now as the Fourteenth Doctor, but he’s not the only Time Lord we get to see in this teaser. His successor Ncuti Gatwa makes an appearance at the very end asking, “Will someone tell me what the hell is going on here?”

The new teaser also features Neil Patrick Harris and Yasmin Finney, set to star in the show’s 60th-anniversary special. Russell T Davies is returning as showrunner, and he’ll continue his work with BBC when the show returns for Season 14. Ncuti Gatwa will officially take over as the Fifteenth Doctor by that time and his first full episode is expected to premiere over the festive period in 2023.

Gatwa is best known for his hilarious turn as Eric Effiong in the Netflix teen drama Sex Education, and he already received three BAFTA TV Awards nominations for his role in this series. His film career is also taking off and we’ll soon get to see him alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in Barbie.

Gatwa said he’s deeply honored to be cast in the role that means so much to so many, including himself, and added he’s looking forward to working with the brilliant team behind this series.

“The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show,” said Gatwa.

One of the people Gatwa will join forces with when Doctor Who comes back for Season 14 is Russell T Davies, who’s returning as a showrunner just in time for the show’s 60th anniversary in 2023.
