Variety has officially revealed a dramatic cast reshuffle for the iconic science-fiction series, "Doctor Who." After captivating audiences with her portrayal of Ruby Sunday in just one season, Millie Gibson, the star who stole hearts, is gracefully stepping down from her role. In her place, the dynamic Varada Sethu, a rising star from the blockbuster "Jurassic World Dominion," will take up the mantle and join forces with Ncuti Gatwa in the eagerly anticipated 15th season.
Gibson, previously renowned for her memorable portrayal of Kelly Neelan in the beloved British soap "Coronation Street," made a breathtaking debut in the Christmas special of "Doctor Who" last December. She enchanted viewers as Gatwa's sidekick, Ruby Sunday, in their thrilling galactic adventures. Gibson is poised to reprise her role as Ruby in the highly anticipated 14th season, which is set to hit screens on the BBC in the U.K. and Disney+ internationally in May.
However, for Season 15, which is currently under production in Wales, a fresh face will join the TARDIS. Sethu, as confirmed by a reliable source, will take on the role of Gatwa's new companion, promising to inject a new dynamic and excitement into the show. Details about her character remain shrouded in mystery, but Sethu's previous appearances in "Andor" and "Mrs Sidhu Investigates" hint at her versatility and immense talent.
This seismic change marks a new era in the enduring legacy of "Doctor Who," as the Doctor and his companions embark on yet another breathtaking adventure through the vast expanse of time and space.
