The highly-anticipated Doctor Who Season 14 is just around the corner, and the excitement is palpable. With Ncuti Gatwa donning the iconic scarf as the Fifteenth Doctor, the show has seemingly found its footing once again. The recent 60th-anniversary specials have brought in new faces and welcomed back old friends, paving the way for an exciting new chapter in the Doctor Who universe.
Gatwa’s performance has already received rave reviews, with his energetic and bombastic portrayal of the Doctor drawing comparisons to the likes of Matt Smith. But he’s not the only new face joining the show. Millie Gibson takes on the role of Ruby Sunday, a feisty and determined young companion who reminds many of the original Rose Piper. Ruby’s backstory as a foundling only adds to her appeal, making her a compelling addition to the series.
Veteran actress Bonnie Langford returns as Mel Bush, a character fondly remembered by fans of the classic series. Her inclusion in Season 14 is a warmly welcomed one, and her presence is sure to delight longtime fans. Michelle Greenidge shines as Carla Sunday, Ruby’s foster mother, bringing a sense of warmth and compassion to the role.

Anita Dobson’s Mrs. Flood has sparked widespread speculation about her true identity, with many theories suggesting she could be the Master, the Rani, or even a new villain altogether. Jemma Redgrave reprises her role as Kate Stewart, head of UNIT, bringing her expertise to the battles against the forces of darkness.
The show’s latest villain, Maestro, promises to be the Doctor’s most formidable foe yet, and Jinkx Monsoon brings their unique talent to the role. Another exciting addition is Jonathan Groff, who will play a key role in the upcoming season, perhaps in a musical episode. Groff’s impressive range has seen him excel in both heroic and villainous roles, making him a valuable addition to the ensemble.
Finally, Golda Rosheuvel, fresh from her iconic role in Bridgerton, joins the cast as Jocelyn, but little is known about her character thus far. With the trailer available now, Doctor Who returns on May 11, exclusively on Disney+.
