‘Doctor Who’ Boss Teases Ruby’s Love Story in Season 2

New season, new companion. Doctor Who returns with its (third) second season on Disney+ on Saturday, April 12, with Ncuti Gatwa continuing to play the Doctor. But while Millie Gibson is still going to be part of the show as Ruby, the Doctor’s going to have a new companion with him.

Varada Sethu, who guest starred in the first season, is back as a new character, Belinda Chandra, whom the Doctor is actually looking for, as showrunner, executive producer, and writer Russell T. Davies told TV Insider after the 2024 Christmas special. Once they meet, the two begin an epic quest to get her back to Earth. But that’s easier said than done since a mysterious force is stopping their return.
