Doctor Who: Thirteenth Doctor Companions Announced
The BBC have announced just who’ll be joining Jodie Whittaker in her first season aboard the TARDIS.
According to IGN, series regulars include Bradley Walsh (Law & Order: UK), who will play Graham; Tosin Cole (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Ryan; and Mandip Gill as Yasmin. Sharon D. Clarke has also been cast in a recurring role.
Season 11 will also make its debut in Autumn 2018 and will consist of 10 fifty-minute episodes with her debut episode set to be a one-hour special. "The casting of Mandip, Tosin, and Bradley is a mark of the new creative ambition [Season 11 head writer and executive producer] Chris [Chibnall] is bringing to Doctor Who," said Controller of BBC Drama Piers Wenger. "He's already made history with the casting of Jodie. These three new characters complete a new and utterly unmissable team aboard the Tardis."
Whittaker was announced as the Thirteenth Doctor earlier this year. She'll star as the series' first female Doctor, replacing Peter Capaldi.
