Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Seventh Doctor companion actor Sophie Aldred explains why Ncuti Gatwa's upcoming Doctor Who era is significant. The Sex Education star will take the keys to the TARDIS in the show's 60th anniversary celebrations before going on to lead his first seasonal special during the holidays. Gatwa's first full season will be Doctor Who season 14, and it will air in 2024.
"He's gonna be such a brilliant Doctor. He's just got everything, he's just amazing. And also, when it was announced that he was going to be the new Doctor, my son, who's gay and a drag queen, came running downstairs and said, 'Mum, I'm going to start watching Doctor Who now,' because he's not watched it, he's not been that fussed.
Ncuti Gatwa's New Doctor Who Era Is A Bright Future For The Franchise While Gatwa's new era of Doctor Who is appealing to established viewers due to the returns of celebrated former creatives, it is undeniable that it is also opening the door for newcomers. With his award-winning role as Eric Effiong in Sex Education and his appearance in the summer box office hit Barbie, Gatwa is a rising star who has already created anticipation for his Fifteenth Doctor.
