After a huge two-episode premiere, Doctor Who returns this week with an episode written by former showrunner Steven Moffat. The series streams new episodes in the UK on BBC iPlayer from midnight on Saturday before airing that same evening on BBC One. Fans in the US can stream new episodes every Friday on Disney+.
Following on from the season premiere, episode 2 is titled “The Devil’s Chord”. The episode is written by showrunner Russell T. Davies and directed by Ben Chessell. Before we take a look at the stills, here’s a sneaky peek at the episode synopsis:
Caught in the middle of a devastating war on Kastarion 3, the Doctor is trapped when he steps on a landmine. Can he save himself and Ruby, plus the entire planet… without moving?
Take a look at the full gallery of stills below:
The new season will also see an all star line up including returnees Yasmin Finney and Bonnie Langford who will reprise their roles as Rose Noble and Mel Bush. As well as introducing Jinkx Monsoon as the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet, Jonathan Groff in a mysterious key role, and Lenny Rush as Morris, to name just a few…
For those in the UK, for the first time ever, the Doctor will land with two episodes premiering on BBC iPlayer at midnight, before arriving on BBC One later that day right before the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final.
At the same time, those outside of the UK can watch the Doctor and Ruby on their epic adventures as the TARDIS is set to land on Disney+ where available. Viewers in the UK will now be able to watch whenever and wherever they choose, with the option to stream at midnight on BBC iPlayer or tune in at primetime on Saturday nights on BBC One.
