It’s finally time to board the TARDIS! After almost a year and a half of waiting, Doctor Who Season 13 arrives in France this Wednesday, August 31 at 9:10pm on NRJ12. Find out what awaits you in this new stream of episodes.
Consisting of only 6 episodes, making it the shortest season in the show’s history since its renewal in 2005, this thirteenth season marks a new turning point in the sci-fi series’ history, as it will be Jodie Whitaker’s last. In the skin of the Time Lord.
In July 2021, the actress, who made series history as the first female Doctor Who, did indeed announce her departure at the end of season 13. And that’s not the only departure to mark the episodes, with Chris Chibnall, Doctor Who showrunner since 2017 also announcing his intention to step aside for Russell Davies, who relaunched the sci-fi saga in 2005.
In another news, the 13th season of Doctor Who, called Flux, is the first time since the 23rd season of the first batch that it consists of a single story that spans 6 episodes. The Time Lord and his companions will definitely have to face a new antagonist who can sow chaos in the series by bringing back old enemies, already defeated.
From Liverpool to the far reaches of space, the Crimean War, and a planet called Atropos that shouldn’t even exist, battling ancient enemies and creatures from unknown dimensions, the Doctor and his companions find themselves in a race against (and through) time to uncover a mystery that spans the entire universe: What is the Stream?
Following the departure of Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole, played by Graham O’Brien and Ryan Sinclair respectively, at the end of the season 12 Christmas episode, the thirteenth season of Doctor Who is marked by the arrival of a new companion named Dan Lewis. For the occasion camped by John Bishop.
Best known in England for his radio show called Bishop’s Sunday Service, the former footballer previously appeared in Seasons 3 and 4 of Skins.
Note that Season 13 of Doctor Who consists of 3 special episodes switching between Jodie Whittaker and her replacement, Nkuti Gatwa (Sex Education). Პirveli, “Eve of the Daleks“, aired on January 1 on the BBC, and the second, called “The Legend of the Sea Devils“, aired in April 2022.
As for the final episode of Jodie Whittaker, which also marks the 300th year of the sci-fi series, it should be offered next October. As of now, NRJ12 is yet to announce the air date of these special episodes.
Find new episodes of Doctor Who from 31 August every Wednesday night on NRJ12.
