“Jodie’s final feature-length story contains a plethora of treats and surprises for audiences and fans, not least the return of two of the most beloved companions in the show’s history,” showrunner Chris Chibnall said in a statement. “They’ll be helping the Doctor fight on three fronts, against her deadliest enemies: the Master, Daleks, and Cybermen, in one huge story! For the BBC’s Centenary, we’ll be celebrating the past, present, and future of Doctor Who, in a fittingly thrilling, epic, and emotional send-off for the Thirteenth Doctor.”
Doctor Who Season 13 stars Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, Mandip Gill as Yasmin Khan, and John Bishop as Dan. Before she takes a bow, Whittaker has set three final specials, with the first two already available for viewing. Jodie’s final feature-length special, where the Thirteenth Doctor will regenerate, will transmit in autumn 2022 as part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations.
