Doctor Who Season 15’s Release Date Has Been Announced And It’s Coming Sooner Than Expected

Doctor Who Season 15 is coming and fans will surely be delighted. The newest season will arrive sooner than most expected.

Doctor Who has been around for over six decades, and a new season is coming. Ncuti Gatwa will return as the Fifteenth Doctor in the upcoming season and several actors will make their debut in the said season. However, there has been no concrete update about its release date yet, but fans expect it to air in April or May since the last season debuted in May. Fans will surely be delighted with the recent report about the series.

Fans of the longest-running British science-fiction have been wondering when Doctor Who Season 15 will premiere. Apparently, it is coming out in two months. BBC dropped a new trailer during halftime for Friday’s Premiership Women’s Rugby match between GLO and HAR and Sportmatch of U20s Six Nations Rugby. The final part of the teaser seemingly revealed the released date as it included a crucial detail that reads “Sat 12th Apr iPLAYER.” The date is a massive revelation because Doctor Who episodes are set to air simultaneously on BBC in the UK and Disney Plus internationally. This means that if the show will debut on iPLAYER on April 12, it will also be released on BBC and Disney Plus on the same day. This answers the question from fans about how long they have to wait for the new season.

Meanwhile, the viewers can expect to see new faces in Doctor Who Season 15. Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies previously said that EastEnders’ Frankie Lewis will star in the new season’s “scariest episode.” “It’s absolutely terrifying, she’s magnificent in it… to see Ncuti with her,” he said. He also added, “other guest names in that cast are phenomenal.” Davies also recently expressed his excitement about having Slow Horses star Christopher Chung on board to play a new character named Cassio. Chung was as thrilled to be part of the Whoniverse and work with Davies and Gatwa. “This show is legendary, and getting to be part of this new era feels surreal. Working with Russell and Ncuti has been a dream!” Chung said.

Doctor Who Season 15 coming out in April is great news but somewhat expected. In recent years, the intervals between seasons range from under a year to over 18 months. For instance, Doctor Who Season 12 aired in March 2020, while Season 13 premiered in October 2021. However, Season 6’s finale, The Wedding of River Song, aired on October 1, 2011, and Season 7’s premiere episode Asylum of the Daleks was dropped on September 1, 2012, making it the shortest gap between seasons in the franchise.

Most likely, fans will be excited about the new season. However, there are worries about the series’ stability, with reports claiming that Gatwa is leaving the show after Season 15. There were also claims that the declining audience numbers could lead to the show’s cancelation. However, BBC debunked speculation about the show’s future, saying it was “incorrect.” Regardless, Doctor Who Season 15 is happening and that’s one thing that is certain.
