‘Tis the season for a new timey-wimey adventure. The inaugural full episode of the Fifteenth Doctor embarks on Christmas Day.
Writer and showrunner Russell T. Davies returns after a 13-year absence to helm the new fourteenth season beginning with the annual Doctor Who Christmas Special — which drops exclusively on Disney+.
After taking over from the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant), the special follows Fifthteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) crossing paths with his new companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) in a sci-fi adventure with mythical and mysterious goblins during the Christmas season.
The Christmas special also stars Davina McCall, Michelle Greenidge, Angela Wynter, Anita Dobson and others.

The streaming service is also home to movies and TV shows from The Walt Disney Company, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm (Star Wars and Indiana Jones), Pixar Animation, National Geographic and more.
