Disney+ and the BBC have set an April 12 premiere date for season two Doctor Who, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor. (The show reset its season numbering with the most recent installment, which aired last year. Gutwa is the Fifteenth Doctor in the show’s long history, which dates back to 1963.)

Feb. 26 (UPI) -- A new season of Doctor Who, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor and Alan Cumming as a cartoon, will arrive on Disney + April 12. Gatwa, the show's 15th doctor, will return in Season 2, alongside Varada Sethu and Millie Gibson, as Belinda and Ruby, respectively.

Season 2 of Ncuti Gatwa's "Doctor Who" will premiere on April 12, and Alan Cumming is coming along for the ride.

The stage and screen star will feature alongside Ncuti Gatwa as he returns for his second series as the fifteenth incarnation of the Doctor.

Alan Cumming has landed a role on the upcoming season of Doctor Who. The BBC announced yesterday that Cumming, 60, will play the role of an animated character called Mr Ring-a-Ding in the second episode.

Ncuti Gatwa has played the Doctor since 2023 and his second series in the iconic role will be broadcast later this year, with Doctor Who bosses sharing an announcement this week

In a statement, Doctor Who showrunner, executive producer, and writer Russell T Davies said, "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."

Anita Dobson, Bonnie Langford, Jemma Redgrave, Caoilfhionn Dunne, Christopher Chung, Evelyn Miller, Ariyon Bakare, Julie Dray and Jonah Hauer-King all feature in the trailer for season 2, with Rose Ayling-Ellis MBE also joining the ranks for a thrilling and frightening adventure.

Alan Cumming returns to Doctor Who as Mr. Ring-a-ding, a cartoon character. Christopher Chung joins as Cassio, a mysterious character in an intense episode. Doctor Who Season 15 premieres on April 12, 2025, featuring new villains and familiar faces.

Doctor Who will be returning for season 2 (aka the second season of Ncuti Gatwa’s Fifteenth Doctor) on April 12. Like the past Gatwa seasons and specials, the show will premiere around the world at the same time, streaming on Disney Plus in the U.S. at the same time it drops in the U.K. on BBC.

Doctor Who will premiere its new season of eight episodes on April 12, with Alan Cumming guesting as an evil cartoon named Mr. Ring-a-Ding.
