season

BBC
AMERICA has
announced the premiere date for the eighth season of Doctor Who.
The feature-length episode, entitled “Deep Breath,” will air Saturday, August
23 at 8:00pm ET. The episode ushers in an exciting new era for the show as
Peter Capaldi (The Musketeers, The Thick of It) steps into the
role of the Doctor. Fans first got a glimpse of Capaldi’s Doctor in November’s
50th Anniversary Special, and again in the final minutes of last
year’s Christmas Special, but the upcoming season premiere marks the first full
episode for the Twelfth Doctor.
Capaldi will be joined by Jenna
Coleman (Death
Comes to Pemberley), who
returns as companion Clara Oswald, and Samuel Anderson (History Boys,
Gavin & Stacey) who joins the cast as Danny Pink, a teacher at Coal Hill
School where Clara also works. Previously announced guest stars include Ben
Miller (Primeval, Death in Paradise), Keeley Hawes (Line of
Duty, Upstairs, Downstairs), and Tom Riley (Da Vinci’s
Demons).
Leading up to the premiere,
Capaldi and Coleman will appear together in the US for the first time when they arrive in New York on Thursday, August
14 as part of the first ever Doctor Who World Tour. The largest
promotional undertaking in the show’s 50-year history, the tour will kick off in
Cardiff, Wales before heading to London, Seoul, Sydney, New York, Mexico City,
and Rio de Janeiro.
