New trailer for Doctor Who on BBC One and Disney Plus introduces new
companion alongside time and space madness.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The first full length trailer for the new season of Doctor Who , which
arrives in April on Disney+ internationally and on BBC iPlayer in the UK, is here and it looks like were in for a wild ride across time and space as
Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor faces sinister cinemas, an Interstellar Song Contest and the return of Anita Dobsons mysterious Mrs Flood.

Most intriguingly, the trailer which you can check out just below gives us our first proper look at new companion Belinda Chandra, played by Varada Sethu, whos appearance as a different character in last seasons 'Boom'
appears to be more than a Karen Gillan-like case of impressing producers enough to bag a full-time role.

Throughout the trailer, we see glimpses of Sethu's original character Mundy Flynn, with The Doctor commenting "there is something already connecting us." Could we be in for a Clara-esque character sprinkled throughout the Doctors timeline? Either way, Belinda isnt keen on being along for the ride, with the season-long arc seeing the duo head on an epic quest to get the new companion back to Earth.

The new footage also reveals Traitors US host Alan Cummings new villain, Mr Ring-a-Ding who emerges terrifyingly from the silver screen in 1952 to cause cartoon chaos, as well as confirming that we havent seen the last of Dobsons mischievous neighbor as she pops up in the audience of a universe-spanning version of the Eurovision song Content, hosted by none other than Rylan
Clark.

As expected, theres also the return of former companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) alongside Mel (Bonnie Langford) and Kate (Jemma Redgrave), despite
the pair gearing up for their own UNIT spin-off.

The trailer arrives amidst rumors of cancellation for the show, with some claiming that the increasingly in-demand Gatwa had quit the role and that Disney, disappointed by last season's viewing figures, were looking to end
the production partnership after the latest batch of episodes both of which could lead to the BBC putting the sci-fi adventure on ice.

However, the broadcaster recently released a statement to the Radio Times debunking fans concerns stating : "This story is incorrect, Doctor Who has
not been shelved. As we have previously stated, the decision on season 3 will be made after season 2 airs.

Were Gatwa to leave after season 2 of the show, it would mark the shortest tenure for an actor in the role (not including David Tennants 60th
Anniversary guest spot as the Fourteenth Doctor) since Christopher
Ecclestones surprise departure after one season way back in 2005.

Its worth reiterating, however, that nothing is confirmed at present, and
with no official sign that the Fifteenth Doctor will be regenerating anytime soon, eyes are firmly on what awaits us when the new season drops on BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus on April 12. You might also like Daredevil: Born
