DOCTOR Who is getting ready for its epic return.
The Time Lord, played by Jodie Whittaker, will back next year. Here is everything you need to know about season 12.
When does Doctor Who season 12 air?
The BBC has announced that the sci-fi series will return New Year’s Day.
Following that the series will return to a weekly Sunday evening release date (as it did in 2018), meaning there’s only a few days between the first and second episodes, as episode two will be screened on January 5, 2020.
It’s also been confirmed that the first story (written by Chris Chibnall and titled Spyfall) will be a two-parter, so at least fans won’t have to wait too long to see what happens next.
The time of the show is yet to be released.
What will happen in Doctor Who season 12?
Doctor Who’s series 12 trailer has confirmed the terrifying return of Cybermen – and a dastardly World War II plot.
Jodie Whittaker will be making her second outing as the Time Lord and the trailer has given fans plenty of clues as to what they can expect.
The Doctor will come face to face with some of her old foes, including the Judoon and the Cyberman, with her ominously declaring: "Something is coming for me, I can feel it."
The trailer also sees a creature catch the Doctor off guard as it bursts through the doors of the TARDIS, as well the Doctor and her companions arriving in occupied Paris in 1943, right in the middle of World War II.
Who is in the cast of Doctor Who season 12?
Of course, the star of the show – Jodie – will be returning for another series as the famous Time Lord.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I really can’t wait to step back in and get to work again."
The mother-of-one will be joined by the cast of series 11, including Bradley Walsh as Graham, Tosin Cole portraying Ryan and Mandip Gill playing Yaz.
