The new season of Doctor Who will land on Disney+ next month. Presented as a reboot of the cult seriesthis should have a lasting impact on viewers, according to the showrunner.
the new reboot of a cult series
The new season of Doctor Who will air from Saturday May 11, 2024 on Disney+. It will have 8 episodes in total. Every week, viewers discover the adventures of the new Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education). The arrival of a new main actor marks a major turning point in the series, since it will not be season 14 strictly speaking, but rather a renewal generally described as a “soft reboot”. We will therefore have to see if any links are still made with previous seasons, but the official trailers suggest a “Season 1”. The goal is to allow everyone to embark on the adventure, even without having followed the series for the last 60 years.
Whether you are new to the world of Doctor Who or long-time fans, this season which serves as a reboot promises to shake you up. In any case, this is what showrunner Russell T. Davies, also screenwriter on 6 episodes, asserts with aplomb.
the new season of doctor who will be full of emotions
For everyone, and especially long-time fans of the series, the new season of Doctor Who should prove to be rich in emotions. this will be particularly the case at the end, which should leave a lasting impression. During an interview given to SFXshowrunner Russell T. Davies actually recalled that if all the episodes could be seen independently, there would be in the season “a recurring theme and continuing story that will build and build and build until the most devastating finale.”
Visibly confident about the impact that the end of the new season 1 of Doctor Who on the fans, Davis even went so far as to assert that we would witness “literally in the greatest finale of all time”. Suffice it to say that he has no room for error after such a teaser! We will have to wait until May 11 to discover the first elements of the answer, then wait seven additional weeks to see the end of the season. Patience, therefore.
