Doctor Who 2024 trailer teases Jinkx Monsoon villain, apocalyptic scenes
The new trailer gives fans their best look yet at the upcoming 14th season.
There's not too much longer to wait before Ncuti Gatwa's first full season in Doctor Who finally arrives on BBC One – and as excitement continues to build ahead of the May premiere, Disney+ has now released a new trailer for the upcoming run.
The teaser is comprised of several clips previewing episodes set to feature in season 14, with fans given plenty of glimpses of Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson's companion Ruby Sunday as they adventure in time and space.
The trailer also shows numerous first looks at guest stars including Indira Varma as The Duchess, Jinkx Monsoon’s musical villain, and a cheeky return for Anita Dobson as the mysterious Mrs Flood.
Millie Gibson also looks very busy as Ruby Sunday in the trailer as she and the Doctor face multiple enemies and the mystery of her origins.
We already knew that among the string of new episodes, there will be an instalment set in the Regency era, while another will be set during the 1960s, featuring The Beatles.
Earlier in the day, fans were also treated to some funky artwork featuring our leads in the Beatles episode.
It was announced last week that the new season would open with a double bill on Saturday 11th May, while it was also revealed that for the first time in Who history the episodes would debut at midnight on BBC iPlayer.
This move has caused some consternation among the show's UK fans, who feel that viewers across the Atlantic are being favoured by the new release schedule and that it could diminish the event nature of watching the series as it airs on Saturday nights.

Following the news, showrunner Russell T Davies said: "At last, it's my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby's adventures together."
Teasing the season to come, he added: "Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that's been spanning time and space for decades. Don't miss a second!"
