It’s been a long time coming—especially so for a Time Lord. The BBC and Disney have now officially confirmed that Doctor Who’s trio of anniversary specials will begin airing November 25, kicking off three weeks of new adventures in time and space.
The three episodes will drop weekly starting Saturday, November 25, with the release of “The Star Beast,” followed by “Wild Blue Yonder” on December 2, and “The Giggle” on December 9. The special episodes will be the first as part of a major broadcasting deal between the BBC and Disney to stream exclusively outside of the UK and Ireland on Disney+. They will continue to broadcast on BBC One and the BBC iPlayer in those regions—which will also see the debut of the first episode of Doctor Who’s revived behind-the-scenes program, Doctor Who Unleashed, on November 25 to accompany the broadcast of “The Star Beast.”
The trio of specials, helmed by returning showrunner Russell T. Davies, star David Tennant as the latest, 14th incarnation of the Doctor, and see the Time Lord reunited with his former companion Donna Noble (the returning Catherine Tate, who appeared alongside Tennant’s prior incarnation, the Tenth Doctor, in the fourth season of the show’s modern era) as they battle against the Toymaker, an ancient foe from the Doctor’s earliest past, played by Neil Patrick Harris.
The specials will pave the way for the first episode starring Ncuti Gatwa as the 15th Doctor, which is currently expected to air at some point over the festive season.
