Emmy Award winner Archie Panjabi ("The Good Wife") has signed on to star as a villain in the upcoming second season of the BBC and Disney+ "Doctor Who" reboot, which is set to air in 2025. Details regarding her character remain under wraps.
Panjabi joins Ncuti Gatwa, the current doctor, and Millie Gibson, who plays his companion Ruby Sunday. In Season 1, The Doctor and Ruby travel across time and space, with adventures all the way from the Regency era in England, to war-torn future worlds. Throughout their adventures in the TARDIS – a time-traveling ship shaped like a police box – they encounter incredible friends and dangerous foes, including a terrifying bogeyman, and the Doctor’s most powerful enemy yet.
The long-running British series, which premiered on the BBC in 1963, follows an extraterrestrial being known as the Doctor. William Hartnell played the first Time Lord followed by 14 others including Tom Baker, Peter Capaldi, Matt Smith, David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Christopher Eccleston and Gatwa, among others.
The holiday special "Joy to the World" is set to air on Christmas Day on Disney+ and the BBC iPlayer in the UK. In the special Gatwa and Gibson will team up with "Bridgerton" standout Nicola Coughlan.
"Doctor Who" is produced by Bad Wolf, with BBC Studios for Disney Branded Television and BBC. Russell T. Davies is showrunner, executive producer and writer. Additional executive producers include Phil Collinson, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter.
Panjabi recently starred opposite Idris Elba in the Apple TV+ airline thriller "Hijack". Her other TV credits include "Departure, Blindspot, Snowpiercer" and "Under the Bridge".
