'Doctor Who': Varada Sethu Officially Joins Ncuti Gatwa's Second Season

A new face is set to board the TARDIS for Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s second season of Doctor Who. Varada Sethu has been tapped to join the cast as a second companion alongside Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday.

Sethu played Cinta in Disney+’s Star Wars series Andor, and her other credits include roles in Jurassic Park Dominion, Annika, and Strike Back. We know virtually nothing about what sort of character Sethu’s companion will be; unlike the announcement of Gibson’s casting, we’re not even given her character’s name. But maybe that’s part of the mystery.

“I feel like the luckiest person in the world. It is such an honor to be a part of the Whoniverse, and I’m so grateful to the whole Doctor Who family - because that is what they are - for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel so at home,” Sethu said in a statement. “I couldn’t ask for a better team than Ncuti and Millie to be on this adventure with. This is SO much fun!”
