Most recently, it has been confirmed that Emmy-winning actress Archie Panjabi is also set to join the expanding cast of “Doctor Who” Season 2.

The British science fiction series “Doctor Who,” first airing in 1963, centers around the escapades of a time-traversing alien character called the Doctor. Initially portrayed by William Hartnell, this role has been taken up by more than a dozen actors over the years, with Ncuti Gatwa currently playing the Fifteenth Doctor. In his initial appearance, Gatwa’s Doctor navigated various time periods, from the Regency era in England to several dystopian future landscapes. Joining him on these journeys is Millie Gibson as Ruby, who will reappear in “Doctor Who” Season 2 alongside Archie Panjabi’s yet-unnamed antagonist.

This year, the captivating series will make its comeback on our TV screens with a special Christmas episode. Additionally, it’s anticipated that the subsequent season will debut around 2025.
