As “Doctor Who” gears up for its highly anticipated new season this May, Disney+ and the BBC have revealed the episode titles for the new season, as well as more incredible guest stars who have jumped aboard the TARDIS for the upcoming season, and we have a new trailer, too.
The Episode Titles
Here are the titles for the episodes that will air during this first season with the Fifteenth Doctor (played by Ncuti Gatwa), along with the director and writer of each episode.
Not much in the way of episode details though…guess they don’t want to give too much away.
SPACE BABIES: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Julie Anne Robinson
In “Space Babies,” Golda Rosheuvel (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) joins “Doctor Who” as Jocelyn, who the Doctor and Ruby meet in their first adventure in the TARDIS together.
Davies said of the casting:
“It’s been amazing to see the whole world appreciate Golda’s talents, because of “Bridgerton,” and it’s been an absolute joy to invite her to Cardiff to help launch Ncuti and Millie’s first season.”
THE DEVIL’S CHORD: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Ben Chessell
Jinkx Monsoon makes their debut in this episode as the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet. Also in this episode, the Doctor and Ruby step back to the sixties to meet The Beatles.
BOOM: Written by Steven Moffat, directed by Julie Anne Robinson
73 YARDS: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Dylan Holmes Williams
DOT AND BUBBLE: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Dylan Holmes Williams
ROGUE: Written by Kate Herron and Briony Redman, directed by Ben Chessell
THE LEGEND OF RUBY SUNDAY: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Jamie Donoughue
EMPIRE OF DEATH: Written by Russell T Davies, directed by Jamie Donoughue
The last two episodes are part of a massive two-part finale spread across two weeks.

New Trailer
In this new trailer, we finally see Jinx Monsoon’s villain, experience more of the adventures that the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) will go on, and learn the enormity of the challenge the two will face. Oh…and there are space babies.
