Season 15 of the beloved British seriesDoctor Whois just around the corner and will bring audiences back into the time and space-traveling world of the Doctor. Originally beginning in 1963,Doctor Whohas seen numerous regenerationsof its leading character and has included even more companions across that time. While the modern era ofDoctor Whobegan in 2005 with the series' reboot,Doctor Who’s recent acquisition by Disneyhas taken the series in an even more updated direction for the streaming age.
While there have certainly been valid criticisms of the changes made in the Disney era, there have also been some improvements over the previous seasons as well. Withthe return of Russell T. Davies and the casting of Ncuti Gatwa as the famous Doctor,season 14 ofDoctor Whoset a new tone. Now, it will be interesting to see how season 15 expands the new framework that the show has created, cementing Gatwa’s unique take on the character to tell exciting new stories.
