    Doctor Who spoilers reveal the new season is almost here. Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker and her #TeamTardis will soon hit the air again after an extended absence. While fans were expecting an early 2020 return, many were surprised by the latest news. Here’s what you need to know.

    Doctor Who spoilers: Change in plans

    Since the series returned in 2005, there has been a Christmas special every year. Doctor who spoilers reveal the tradition just got better with time, which each special outdoing the last. Particularly toward the end of Peter Capaldi’s run as Twelve. But with a new show runner (Chris Chibnall) and Doctor, there was yet another change on the way. Chibnall’s been going for a New Year’s theme instead. Expect that trend to stick over the coming seasons. That means the series will return January 1st, 2020. US viewers can see it on BBC America. Check out the teaser below.

    Doctor Who spoilers: New season

    This special episode will kick off a new season, according to the official announcement attached to the promo. The BBC promises 10 new weekly episodes following the January 1st special. Fans on YouTube were thrilled to see this news, many of the shocked the show will return so early in the year. We guess that’s not such a huge move, considering it’ll be a full year between any original episodes of the series. Plus, since the change in leadership, the episodes have been reduced from the normal twelve to ten. Definitely more than enough time, with no real excuse to take longer. So, what can we expect?

    Doctor Who spoilers: What we know

    So far, as we mentioned, we know the premiere day and the number of episodes fans can expect. Doctor Who spoilers reveal Jodie will continue in the role. From the promos, we see there shouldn’t be any major shake-ups in the supporting cast, either. We saw all three of the companions from the previous season together, still traveling with their new friend. From the announcement, we also know the season will open with a two-parter, titled “Spyfall”. Clearly, a play on the James Bond movie and Adele hit. That, plus a choice in the promo, have us a bit concerned. Last season was filled with predictable plots, borrowed elements, and lots of social messaging. And, if we’re honest, we’ll admit the companions did little for us last season. Expect for Graham O’Brien (Bradley Walsh). Were these problems regroup growing pains, and will we see a better effort following the long break? We’ll have to tune in and find out.
