The Full Trailer for ‘Doctor Who’ Season 11 Highlights Jodie Whittaker’s Groundbreaking Role
BBC America has released the full trailer for Doctor Who Season 11, the landmark season which will introduce a female Doctor to the 55-year old sci-fi franchise for the first time.
(Spoiler alert: It looks amazing.)
The clip, which features Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor alongside her new companions Bradley Walsh, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole. There’s unfamiliar scenery, bizarre spaceships some creepy but totally unrecognizable new monsters. All of which completely fits in with new showrunner Chris Chibnall’s promise that this is going to be an extremely accessible season for new viewers of the show. (Sorry if you were hoping for more Daleks or Cybermen folks. Maybe next season.
The trailer also features an extremely unnecessary usage of the song “Glorious” by Macklemore, and let’s be real I much prefer my Doctor Who ads without recent pop hits involved, no matter how apropos the lyrics might be.
But, to be fair: Whittaker does look pretty glorious in the part.
Watch the trailer for yourselves below:
