Season 2 of Doctor Who to Premiere April 12
Disney+ and the BBC jointly announced that Season 2 of Doctor Who will premiere Saturday, April 12 on Disney+, where available, and exclusively on the BBC and BBC iPlayer in the UK. New episodes from the eight-part season will premiere weekly.
Alan Cumming (The Traitors) will guest star in the second episode as Mr Ring-a-Ding, a happy, funny, singalong cartoon, who lives in Sunny Town with his friend Sunshine Sally. However, in 1952, after years of repeats in cinemas across the land, Mr Ring-a-Ding suddenly looks beyond the screen and sees the real world outside — and the consequences are terrifying. Cumming is returning to the Whoniverse after previously playing King James I in the 2018 episode “The Witchfinders.”
Season 2 Synopsis: “The Doctor meets Belinda Chandra and begins an epic quest to get her back to Earth. But a mysterious force is stopping their return and the time-traveling TARDIS team must face great dangers, bigger enemies and wider terrors than ever before.”
The new season stars Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education) as the Doctor, Varada Sethu (Andor) as Belinda Chandra, and Millie Gibson (Coronation Street) as Ruby Sunday.
Previously announced guest cast include Rose Ayling-Ellis (EastEnders), Christopher Chung (Slow Horses), Anita Dobson (EastEnders), Michelle Greenidge (After Life), Jonah Hauer-King (The Little Mermaid), Ruth Madeley (Nightsleeper), Jemma Redgrave (Holby City), and Susan Twist (Brookside).
