The Fifteenth Doctor is gearing up for a fresh set of adventures as Doctor Who season 15 prepares to launch on April 12, 2025. Ncuti Gatwa will once again step into the Doctor’s shoes, joined by Varada Sethu as the new companion Belinda Chandra.
Millie Gibson also returns as Ruby Sunday, the companion from season 14, after wrapping up her journey in 2024. The season promises a wild ride with eight episodes packed with action and wonder.
The episode titles, shared through a thread on the official Doctor Who X account, give a sneak peek into what’s ahead. The season kicks off with “The Robot Revolution,” followed by “LUX,” “The Well,” “Lucky Day,” “The Story & The Engine,” “The Interstellar Song Contest,” “Wish World,” and ends with “The Reality War.”
Each title came with a short, stylized video hinting at the episode’s theme, building excitement for the Doctor, Belinda, and Ruby’s upcoming challenges.
The premiere, “The Robot Revolution,” drops at 8 a.m. on BBC iPlayer in the UK, with a later airing on BBC One that day. Fans outside the UK can catch it on Disney+ where available. New episodes will roll out weekly after that. The show, produced by Bad Wolf and BBC Studios for BBC and Disney Branded Television, features a star-studded guest cast.
Names like Emmy winner Alan Cumming, playing the cartoonish villain Mr Ring-a-Ding, join Rose Ayling-Ellis, Anita Dobson, Bonnie Langford, Jemma Redgrave, and many others, including Freddie Fox, Jonah Hauer-King, and Kadiff Kirwan.
Behind the scenes, showrunner Russell T Davies takes the lead, writing several episodes like “The Robot Revolution,” “LUX,” “The Well” (co-written with Sharma Angel Walfall), “Wish World,” and “The Reality War.”
Other writers include Pete McTighe for “Lucky Day,” Inua Ellams for “The Story & The Engine,” and Juno Dawson for “The Interstellar Song Contest.” Directors such as Peter Hoar, Amanda Brotchie, Makalla McPherson, Ben A. Williams, and Alex Sanjiv Pillai bring these stories to life.
Russell T Davies, Showrunner, shared his enthusiasm: “Excitement mounts as the new season gets closer, and there’s nothing a Doctor Who fan loves more than facts! So here’s a whole bunch of them, with titles and writers, everything you need to get ready for transmission!” The mix of returning favorites, a new companion, and bold episode ideas sets the stage for a thrilling season starting April 12, 2025.
