Jodie Whittaker is back for her third outing in Doctor Who with a new trailer for series 13 teasing what’s in store for the Time Lord.
Jodie will once more play The Doctor with Mandip Gill as her BFF and assistant Yaz.
The ladies are joined on the series by comedian John Bishop, playing a brand new character called Dan, and we finally get to see him in action.
Jodie, Mandip and John attended Comic-Con @ Home where the first footage from the upcoming episodes was unveiled.
From the looks of this buzz-worthy teaser, which hints at the Doctor’s ‘biggest adventure yet’, there is plenty in store for the fam.
There may be trouble ahead too, as a concerned Yaz says to her two-hearted pal: ‘You’re hiding something.’
We also get to see a bit of John’s acting chops, and it’s clear his comic timing will be in full force as he steps on board the Tardis for the first time.
For all of a millisecond Game of Thrones star Jacob Anderson appears as new recurring character Vinder who will team up with the Doctor and her friends this series.
Jodie, 39, was announced as the 13th Doctor in July 2017 in a video, after stunning in roles like Beth Latimer in Broadchurch (alongside former Doctor Who actor David Tennant) and in BBC drama Trust Me.
