Fans of the longest-running British science-fiction have been wondering whenDoctor WhoSeason 15will premiere. Apparently, it is coming out in two months.BBCdropped a new trailer during halftime for Friday’s Premiership Women’s Rugby match between GLO and HAR and Sportmatch of U20s Six Nations Rugby. The final part of the teaser seemingly revealed the released date as it included a crucial detail that reads “Sat 12th Apr iPLAYER.” The date is a massive revelation becauseDoctor Whoepisodes are set to air simultaneously on BBC in the UK and Disney Plus internationally. This means that if the show will debut on iPLAYER on April 12, it will also be released on BBC and Disney Plus on the same day. This answers the question from fans about how long they have to wait for the new season.
Meanwhile, the viewers can expect to see new faces inDoctor WhoSeason 15.Doctor Whoshowrunner Russell T Daviespreviously said that EastEnders' Frankie Lewis will star in thenew season’s “scariest episode.” “It’s absolutely terrifying, she’s magnificent in it… to see Ncuti with her,” he said. He also added, “other guest names in that cast are phenomenal.” Davies also recently expressed his excitement about havingSlow Horsesstar Christopher Chung on board to play a new character named Cassio. Chung was as thrilled to be part of the Whoniverse and work with Davies and Gatwa. “This show is legendary, and getting to be part of this new era feels surreal. Working with Russell and Ncuti has been a dream!“Chung said.
Doctor WhoSeason 15 coming out in April is great news but somewhat expected. In recent years, the intervals between seasons range from under a year to over 18 months. For instance,Doctor WhoSeason 12aired in March 2020, while Season 13 premiered in October 2021. However, Season 6’s finale,The Wedding of River Song,aired on June 30, 2025, and Season 7’s premiere episodeAsylum of the Dalekswas dropped on May 12, 2025, making it the shortest gap between seasons in the franchise.
Most likely, fans will be excited about the new season. However, there are worries about the series' stability, with reports claiming that Gatwa is leaving the show after Season 15. There were also claims that the declining audience numbers could lead to the show’s cancelation. However, BBC debunked speculation about the show’s future, saying it was “incorrect.” Regardless,Doctor WhoSeason 15 is happening and that’s one thing that is certain.
