THE DOCTOR AND CLARA RETURN WITH ELECTRIFYING ADVENTURES ON BBC AMERICA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19
San Diego Comic-Con – July 9, 2015 – Exploding with epic and thrilling adventures, Doctor Who returns to BBC AMERICA on Saturday, September 19 in the new season of the hit show.
The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is joined by Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) for time travel on a cinematic scale. Having the time of their lives, the pair meet new and old monsters, and go on a journey that takes them to deadly alien planets, creepy underwater bases, Vikings villages, a global Zygon uprising, and leads them through hidden alien dens, to the very end of time itself.
Meeting monsters old and new the Doctor will come face to face with Missy (Michelle Gomez), a
city of Daleks, deadly mercenaries called the Mire, terrifying ghosts and more.
Having filmed in Cardiff since January, Peter Capaldi said:
“Soaring through all of time and space, series nine sees the Doctor throw himself into life with a new hunger for adventure. The Cosmos is there for the taking, thrilling, epic and enticing, and his to play in. But he’s almost reckless in his abandon. It’s almost like he’s running from something, something that if it ever catches him will turn his life upside down.”
