The BBC has revealed Doctor Who’s Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa’s first look on social media.
Several pictures of the Sex Education star were posted by Doctor Who’s official Twitter account. In the photos, Gatwa is seen wearing a fluffy orange sweater and a long patterned coat that matches his trousers. The Fifteenth Doctor is also featured in another shot next to Ruby Sunday, who is set to be played by Millie Gibson.

David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor reappeared after Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor regenerated at the end of the previous season. So how Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor will enter the show is still a mystery.
Showrunner Russell T. Davies teased the upcoming season by saying, “If you thought the appearance of David Tennant was a shock, we’ve got plenty more surprises on the way! The path to Ncuti’s Fifteenth Doctor is laden with mystery, horror, robots, puppets, danger and fun! And how is it connected to the return of the wonderful Donna Noble? How, what, why? We’re giving you a year to speculate, and then all hell lets loose!”
Tennant will reprise his role, now as the Fourteenth Doctor, in three special episodes that are set to air in 2023. The actor will be joined by Catherine Tate, who is also reprising her role as Donna Noble.
It has been 60 years since Doctor Who debuted in 1963. In 2023, the show will celebrate its 60th anniversary.
