New Doctor Who on BBC, Disney+ in April
February 26, 2025
Season 2 of Doctor Who, with Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor, will officially launch on April 12th at 8am on BBC iPlayer and later that day on BBC One in the UK. At the same time, those outside of the UK can watch the Doctor and his new adventures on Disney+ where available.
Additionally, it has been announced that Alan Cumming will guest star in the second episode as Mr Ring-a-Ding. He’s a happy, funny, singalong cartoon, who lives in Sunny Town with his friend Sunshine Sally. However, in 1952, after years of repeats in cinemas across the land, Mr Ring-a-Ding suddenly looks beyond the screen and sees the real world outside – and the consequences are terrifying…
Russell T Davies, Showrunner, commented: “Only Alan Cumming could give a runaway cartoon so much wit, malice, danger and fun. He makes the whole universe of Doctor Who wilder and madder than ever, and it’s an absolute honour to welcome him on board the TARDIS.”
The new season also stars Varada Sethu as Belinda Chandra, and Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday.
Doctor Who is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for the BBC and Disney Branded Television.
