Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson take on New York ahead of new BBC series
Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson headed to New York as ahead of the new season of the BBC sci-fi show to promote their series out later this month
IT’S a wonderful town... and Doctor Who stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson look wonderfully pleased to pose under a billboard featuring them in New York.
The pair were in the US to promote Doctor Who’s new season on chat shows including Good Morning America. The Doctor’s latest adventures launch with a double bill landing on BBC iPlayer at midnight on May 11 before it airs on BBC One later in the day. Sex Education star Gatwa, 31, first appeared as the Time Lord during the last instalment of the 60th anniversary episodes.
Gatwa’s Doctor met companion Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson, 19, in the Christmas Day special. Varada Sethu will join Doctor Who as a new companion for Ncuti Gatwa's second season as a Time Lord. The Indian-born actress, who has had roles in Star Wars spin-off show Andor and the Strike Back series, will join the long-running BBC science fiction programme as a second partner for the 15th Doctor.
There had been reports that Sethu would join the cast to replace former Coronation Street actress Millie, but the BBC has confirmed they will star opposite each other. Showrunner, executive producer and writer Russell T Davies said: "I first worked with Varada on a BBC production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it's a joy to welcome her on board the Tardis. Right now in the studio, shooting for 2025, we've got Ncuti, Millie and Varada fighting side by side we need all three, because the stakes are higher than ever."
