[Outsiders]

The new season of Doctor Who will be seeing the series turning 60 and will include a new Timelord, a returning Showrunner, and a returning Timelord and his companion.

According to Deadline, Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa was confirmed as the 14th Time Lord with the return of Russell T Davies as the Showrunner for the long-running BBC series.

Returning is the 10th Doctor, David Tennant with Catherine Tate playing his companion Donna Noble.  Tennant was Davies’ first Doctor Who showrunning gig from 2005 to 2010.

There is no word yet what the show's creators will be doing with Tennant and Tate, as their scenes will air later in the new season.

Quote

Davies said: “It looks impossible – first, we announce a new Doctor, and then an old Doctor, along with the wonderful Donna, what on earth is happening?  Maybe this is a missing story. Or a parallel world. Or a dream, or a trick, or a flashback. The only thing I can confirm is that it’s going to be spectacular, as two of our greatest stars reunite for the battle of a lifetime.”
