Doctor Who Season 2 Series 15 Unveils First Teaser With New Companion

Following the end of the Doctor Who Christmas Special 2024, BBC and Disney+ Hotstar unveiled the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Season 2 AKA Series 15 of Doctor Who.

The synopsis for the new season reads:

Following Ruby Sunday’s (Millie Gibson) departure at the end of Season One, and an adventure with Joy (Nicola Coughlan) at Christmas, the Doctor has found a new travelling companion in Belinda Chandra, played by Varada Sethu.

Varada last appeared as Mundy Flynn in Season 1’s Boom – are we witnessing another case of spatial genetic multiplicity, or is it something more sinister?

Like many a companion before her, Belinda doesn’t seem to have chosen to take a trip in the TARDIS – asking the Doctor to “get me home”. And, as is often the case, the Doctor doesn’t appear to be in control, telling her that it may be “the long way round”.

It certainly seems to be, as Belinda can be seen visiting numerous worlds that don’t quite look like Earth…

Doctor Who follows the Doctor as they travel across time and space, with adventures all the way from the Regency era in England, to war-torn future worlds. Throughout their adventures in the TARDIS – a time-travelling ship shaped like a police box – they encounter incredible friends and dangerous foes.

In other related news, there is a new Doctor Who spinoff currently in the works, The War Between The Land And The Sea.

In November/December 2023, Doctor Who premiered for the first time on Disney+ Hotstar with three 60th-anniversary special episodes, as well as a Christmas special episode that introduced the world to Ncuti Gatwa as the new Doctor.

As a Whovian, I’m happy for all my fellow Whovians out there.
