New Doctor Who Is Coming

So we are about 4 weeks out from new episodes of Doctor Who which will premiere on Disney+  on May 10th and on the BBC on May 11th.

That is still a sore point with Whovians in the United Kingdom and although Russell T Davies has commiserated that he doesn't like it either, he has also stated that deference to the streaming platform is not unexpected and that the future of Doctor Who is dependent on a strong relationship with a viable streaming service.

Building up to the debut of new episodes, Andrea and I are rewatching over the coming four weeks the 4 specials that came out in 2023.

Here are the deets we have on the forthcoming episodes with titles, writers and directors.  

• Space Babies: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Julie Anne Robinson
• The Devil’s Chord: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Ben Chessell

The first two will be launched on May 10th.  

• Boom: Written by Steven Moffat, directed by Julie Anne Robinson

Rumor is that Moffat will be bringing back the Clerics, the military organization based on the ranks and structure of the Catholic Church. We first met them in the 2 part Weeping Angels story from Matt Smith's first season.  

• 73 Yards: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Dylan Holmes Williams
• Dot and Bubble: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Dylan Holmes Williams
• Rogue: Written by Kate Herron and Briony Redman, directed by Ben Chessell
• The Legend of Ruby Sunday: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Jamie Donoughue
• Empire of Death: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Jamie Donoughue

The last two episodes will be a two part season finale.
