Gatwa’s second season as the Doctor was expected to air later this year but it appears that the announcement has taken fans by surprise after the news was revealed during the BBC’s coverage of the U20s Six Nations Rugby match between England and Scotland.
"Back to the Powell Estate, where the Doctor’s past returns to haunt him, and out into the universe where enemies old and new are waiting,” reads a synopsis for Doctor Who – The Ninth Doctor Adventures, out later this year.
“I find it hilarious that it was a totally unrelated rugby match that announced the release date of the next season and not, you know, the BBC itself, any of Doctor Who's social media pages, the Doctor himself, or even the showrunner.
Russell T Davies – who rebooted the cult series back in 2005 – returned to write and executive produce the new seasons, which marked the first time Doctor Who was aired internationally on Disney Plus and on the BBC in the UK.
‘The way zero fans saw this because in what world do rugby and Doctor Who fans overlap,’ said one fan.
