Doctor Who returns this year in a big way, and a cash injection from its new streaming home outside the UK (Disney+) means the long-running sci-fi series will finally be able to compete with big-budget high-concept dramas such as The Mandalorian and Star Trek: Discovery.
This holiday season will also see the release of three specials titled "The Star Beast," "Wild Blue Yonder," and "The Giggle."
In those, David Tennant reprises perhaps his most famous role, albeit as the Fourteenth Doctor this time around. He'll also be joined by Catherine Tate's Donna Noble, a companion we never expected to return given the dire consequences which come with them being face-to-face.
Joining them are Neil Patrick Harris as a villain thought to be The Toymaker, Yasmin Finney as Rose (which, as you might expect, has generated a lot of speculation online), Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble, Karl Collins as Shaun Temple, Ruth Madeley as Shirley Anne Bingham, and the late Bernard Cribbins as Wilfred Mott.
The final of those three specials is expected to feature Ncuti Gatwa's debut as the Fifteenth Doctor, and we get a new look at him and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday on two additional character posters.
With Disney+ getting involved, as much as triple is expected to be spent on the show from season to season, giving the franchise its best chance yet to break into the mainstream.
Everything we've seen from showrunner Russell T Davies' return to Doctor Who suggests the beloved show has been given a fresh lick of paint, and we can't wait to find out where he plans to take both these returning characters and the Doctor and his new companion!
