The BBC has revealed the synopsis for the next episode of Doctor Who Series 14, named Rogue.
The story takes its name from the bounty hunter played by Frozen star, Jonathan Groff, who will apparently leave a lasting impression on the Fifteenth Doctor.
Written by Loki creatives, Kate Herron and Briony Redman, and directed by Ben Chessell (The Only Person in the World), here’s what Rogue‘s all about:
The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and “Lady Ruby Sunday of the Notting Hill Estate” (Millie Gibson) crash the Duchess of Pemberton’s (Indira Varma) ball in 1813 Bath. The ball is the highlight of the season, where the cream of Regency society gather to dance, gossip and flirt. The Doctor and Ruby are having a wonderful time dancing and mingling, but not everyone is who they seem to be. There’s a dessicated corpse in the shrubbery. Above the crowd, the Doctor spots mysterious bounty hunter called Rogue (Jonathan Groff), who is about to change the Doctor’s life forever.
Nothing about the X-Men at all…
