When is the next episode of Doctor Who? Somehow, we’re now nearly at the end of the 60th anniversary specials already, after what felt like a lifetime of buildup.
After Doctor Who‘s return with ‘The Star Beast’ and ‘Wild Blue Yonder’, ‘The Giggle’ is next and The Doctor will have to confront one of his deadliest challenges yet. But when is the next episode of Doctor Who coming out, and what time can we expect the upcoming adventure to land on screens?
Doctor Who’s next episode release date and time
The final Doctor Who special, titled ‘The Giggle’ will air on Saturday, December 9, 2023, at will be available on Disney Plus on 13:30 ET, and 10:30 PT.
In the UK, the episode will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer simultaneously at 18:30 GMT on the same date.
This will be the the final of the three specials, however, Doctor Who will return again soon after. A Christmas special episode will herald the start of Ncuti Gatwa’s era as The Doctor, taking over from Tennant. Then, Doctor Who season 14 will air in early 2024, and begin Gatwa’s first full season.
What to expect from the next episode of Doctor Who
As the end of the 60th anniversary celebrations, ‘The Giggle’ will most likely explain why the 14th Doctor once again assumed the face of the 10th Doctor, as well as bringing him face to face with Neil Patrick Harris’ villain The Celestial Toymaker.
From the trailers, we know that The Celestial Toymaker will confront The Doctor to enact revenge. So, expect plenty of danger, thrills, and another regeneration too.
