Doctor Who Season 14: Release date, episodes, schedule, cast

Ncuti Gatwa has become the 15th Doctor and will be ably assisted by Millie Gibson as Ruby Sunday.

We’ve already seen the 15th Doctor in action, but Ncuti Gatwa’s first season proper will begin later this month.

The regeneration is complete and Scotland’s Ncuti Gatwa has taken over from Jodie Whittaker (via David Tennant) as the world’s favourite timelord.

Gatwa made his debut as Doctor Who in the Christmas special The Church on Ruby Road which was widely praised by critics and fans alike.

And now his first series proper is about to hit television screens.

Here’s everything you need to know about the next chapter in the science fiction show.

When does Season 14 of Doctor Who start?

The first episode of Season 14, Space Babies, will be on BBC One at 6.20pm on Saturday, May 11, with the second episode, The Devil's Chord, broadcast straight after at 7.05pm. The Eurovision Song Contest will follow, so it’s a great evening of entertainment.

For the first time ever the episodes will drop on the BBC iPlayer at midnight on the day of broadcast, so if you can’t wait until the evening you can watch whenever you like.

When are the rest of the episodes released?

The rest of the series will be released on a weekly basis each Saturday - so no binge watching - dropping on the iPlayer at midnight before being broadcast on BBC One that evening. Exact times are yet to be confirmed.
