The BBC has unveiled our first look at the next season of Doctor Who — either Series 15 or Season 2, depending on your mileage.

And we get some interesting glimpses at our next companion, Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra!

Plus, of course, we see previous companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), seemingly working with UNIT, who she met in the previous series’ finale, The Legend of Ruby Sunday/ Empire of Death. We also see Kate Lethbridge-Stewart (Jemma Redgrave), Shirley Anne Bingham (Ruth Madeley), and Mrs Flood (Anita Dobson).

It all looks pretty intriguing, notably the animation climbing out of the cinema screen. Very Torchwood.

We’ve also got a few new photos, and a synopsis…

Here’s what the BBC promises in the next season:

The Doctor meets Belinda Chandra and begins an epic quest to get her back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-traveling TARDIS team must face great dangers, ferocious enemies and wilder terrors than ever before.

Doctor Who Series 15 will air and be available to stream in early 2025.
