All You Need to Know About the ‘Doctor Who’ 60th Anniversary Specials: David Tennant's Return!

The Doctor is in! Make that Doctors since the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials seem to be jam-packed with new and familiar faces — including former star David Tennant.

The long-running BBC America show ended Jodie Whittaker‘s tenure as the time-traveling hero (a role she took over from Peter Capaldi in 2018) in October 2022. She and showrunner Chris Chibnall left Doctor Who together, making way for a new cast and a returning showrunner in season 14.

Sex Education actor Ncuti Gatwa has been announced as the next incarnation of the Doctor — but before Gatwa’s arrival, Tennant is back as the Doctor. He’ll lead three anniversary specials alongside several returning stars, including Catherine Tate as Donna Noble.
