1/13/2024 0 Comments Max and ruby season 1Because the original run of Doctor Who ran from 1963 to 1989, the final Sylvester McCoy adventures as the 7th Doctor ended with Season 26. This happened before, in 2005, when Christopher Eccleston's first season in the revival of Doctor Who was referred to as “Season 1” (or Series 1 in the UK) rather than Season 27. According to an interview with Davies in SFX, the new 2024 season will be re-branded “Season 1.” So, because Jodie Whittaker's finale season was Season/Series 13, that means the upcoming Ncuti Gatwa era will be Season 14, right? Wrong. ![]() 2023 Christmas special will reboot Doctor Whoĭavid Tennant in Doctor Who in 2023. In 2013’s “The Day of the Doctor,” Peter Capaldi’s incoming 12th Doctor briefly appeared (well mostly his eyebrows) in a brief cameo, even though his first full season was roughly a year away at that point. So, it stands to reason that Gatwa will appear in some way shape, and form during the three Tennant specials. Davies has teased a bunch of other surprises throughout the trio of anniversary episodes, and many fans assume that several past Doctors will make cameos either in “Wild Blue Yonder” or “The Giggle.” Davies himself has also teased that early footage of Ncuti Gatwa from the trailers released in 2022 has been modified to conceal the spoiler of a location where the 15th Doctor was standing.

So how does “The Church on Ruby Road” fit in with the other new Who specials debuting during the show’s 60th anniversary? Well, this upcoming Christmas special is likely the start of a fresh new era, which may even see the introduction of the Doctor’s new companion, Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson. Neil Patrick Harris in the 2023 'Doctor Who' specials. ![]() ![]() Not only will this be a Who Christmas special, likely taking place during the holiday season itself, but it will also serve as the first proper adventure for an incoming Doctor, which was also the case way back in 2005 when David Tennant took over for Christopher Eccleston in “The Christmas Invasion.”Īfter Tennant, the two subsequent modern Doctors - Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi - both regenerated during Christmas specials Smith’s “The Time of the Doctor,” and Capaldi’s aforementioned “Twice Upon a Time.” Presumably, by the end of the third and final David Tennant November and December 2023 specials, the Doctor will regenerate into Ncuti Gatwa, meaning we won’t have much of a wait between the 14th Doctor and 15th Doctor adventures. Davies returning as showrunner for the first time since 2010’s “The End of Time,” it appears he is reinstating a Doctor Who tradition in more ways than one. During the Jodie Whittaker era, Doctor Who had holiday specials, but those aired on New Year’s rather than Christmas. On December 25, 2023, “The Church on Ruby Road,” will drop, making it the first Doctor Who Christmas special since Peter Capaldi’s swan song, “Twice Upon a Time” in 2017.
