Doctor Who Series 12 ended earlier this year in March 2020. The BBC has announced that the long-running sci-fi series will finally return with a special New Years Day episode on 1 January 2021.

Revolution Of The Daleks will feature the return of the main cast, as well as special guest stars like John Barrowman’s fan-favourite Captain Jack Harness, Dame Harriet Walter, and more.

The official synopsis reads:

Viewers last saw the Thirteenth Doctor at the end of series 12 where her fate was left hanging in the balance as she was locked away in a high-security alien prison with no hope of escape.

In the upcoming festive special, Yaz, Ryan and Graham are far away on Earth and having to carry on with their lives without her.

However, they soon discover a disturbing plan forming.

A plan which involves a Dalek.

How can you fight a Dalek without the Doctor?

Even with Captain Jack’s help, the gang are set to face one of their biggest and most frightening challenges yet…

As a Whovian myself, I’ve had mixed feelings about Jodie Whittaker’s turn as The (Thirteenth) Doctor, but more Doctor Who content is always welcome.
