'Doctor Who' Season 11 to Air Sundays Beginning in October

After virtually a year of speculation, we finally (f i n a l l y) have a release date for Doctor Who Season 11.

The historic outing, which will mark the first time a woman has played the Doctor, will kick off with a global simulcast on October 7. The premiere will air simultaneously in the U.K. and America – with a U.S. primetime broadcast to follow later that evening.

For the calendar-focused fans out there: That’s a Sunday. Not a Saturday night, as history and tradition have generally dictated Yes, that’s right, Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteen will dash about the galaxy on a whole new night this time around.
