Jodie Whittaker, who played the Thirteenth Doctor, is returning for new ‘Doctor Who’ adventures. These stories will be produced by Big Finish Audio and are set to debut in July 2025.
Whittaker returns to the ‘Doctor Who’ universe along with Mandip Gill, who played her companion Yaz. Gill’s character Yaz was with the Doctor from her first episode to her last. Both actors are excited to return to their roles. Whittaker says:
“I’m over the moon to be joining Big Finish for more adventures in the TARDIS. Recording the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz is a really lovely thing to revisit. One of the things Mandip and I used to love on ‘Doctor Who’ was getting in, doing a new episode, and meeting a brand-new cast. I just can’t wait to step back into the boots, pull on the coat and get cracking. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be brilliant.”
Whittaker originally played the Thirteenth Doctor from 2017 to 2022.
It Will Be An Audio Series
The new series is called ‘Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures.’ It will have 12 episodes, and each will be one hour long. Fans can pre-order the series now on the Big Finish website and choose to buy the whole series or just individual episodes. The series will be available both digitally and on CD.
Big Finish Audio is celebrating its 25th anniversary of making Doctor Who audio dramas. They are also releasing a new series featuring Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor and Sacha Dhawan as the Master. Jason Haigh-Ellery, the chairman of Big Finish, is happy to welcome Whittaker and Gill back for these new stories:
“I am delighted that the inimitable Jodie and Mandip have decided to return to their roles with us and I’m excited to welcome them to Big Finish. Alongside our two other forthcoming series for the Fugitive Doctor (played by Jo Martin) and the Master (played by Sacha Dhawan), 2025 has never looked brighter for the Thirteenth Doctor and her fam.”
Nicholas Briggs, the creative director at Big Finish, also looks forward to working with Whittaker and Gill again.
