'Doctor Who' Will Return in April for Ncuti Gatwa's Second Season

Get ready to step back into the TARDIS this Spring. Disney+ and the BBC have finally (and officially) confirmed that sci-fi series Doctor Who will roar back onto our screens in April for Ncuti Gatwa's second season as the Fifteenth Doctor. (Depending on which number system you ascribe to, this is Season 15 of the modern reboot or Season 41 of the franchise overall.)

The big news, of course, is that the Doctor is getting a new companion this season, in the form of Varada Sethu (Annika) as Belinda Chandra. Last season saw Fifteen say goodbye to his inaugural bestie, as Ruby Sunday left the TARDIS to focus on building a relationship with her birth mother. But, as we all know, the Doctor can't (and, really, shouldn't) be on his own for too long. Enter Belinda, who already will look familiar to fans. Technically, Sethu already debuted on the series with Gatwa, playing Anglican soldier Mundy Flynn in the Steven Moffat-penned episode "Boom!" last season. But (allegedly) this is an entirely different character.

(Allegedly.)
