Russell T Davies teased the upcoming run during an appearance on The One Show.
The main focus for most Doctor Who fans for the time being is upcoming Christmas special Joy to the World – but it looks like we won't have too long to wait for another full run of the sci-fi juggernaut.
While no release date has been announced for season 15 just yet, showrunner Russell T Davies teased that it might be arriving earlier than fans expect during an appearance on The One Show last night (Tuesday 10th December).
"It's coming... it's sensational," he said, when asked what he could say about the upcoming season.
"There are a lot of scares, there's a planet in the far future that's absolutely terrifying, there's a trip to Miami, it's very, very, very good, and it's coming sooner than you think."

It's difficult to tell exactly when that might mean, but fans will no doubt be reassured that the new season is clearly not far in the future.
As things stand, we're expecting it to arrive in May 2025, with Davies previously having made reference to that release window in The Big Issue, saying: "If I sound a bit hyper, it's because I just this morning delivered a Doctor Who script that will be on air in May 2025."
Given his new comments, it's possible that the launch date could be even earlier – we'll be keeping abreast of all the latest developments.
