A new teaser trailer has been released for Season 2 of the new Doctor Who with Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor. In his next season, Gatwa's Doctor will be joined by a new companion, as has previously been reported.

The first teaser, shared by Disney+ on Christmas, introduces Varada Sethu as the new companion for the Doctor. A brief scene in the teaser sees her shouting to the Doctor, "You need to get me home!" Notably, while a new companion is coming into the fray, Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday is sticking around, as she also makes an appearance in the video. This debunks the rumors that Gibson was being completely replaced by Sethu. The new season will drop in 2025, but for now, fans can check out the new trailer below.

Christmas specials are normally a time for TV shows to spread some holiday cheer, although some festive episodes have leaned into the darkest sides of the season. While beloved classics like A Charlie Brown Christmas have become annual viewing for families around the world, other viewers would much rather watch a Christmas special that doesn’t shy away from the challenges of the holidays. While it can sometimes be jarring to watch a particularly dark Christmas special, it’s also important that TV shows don’t lose their individuality just because Christmas is considered a time of joy and togetherness.

Many of the greatest Christmas specials of all time address dark subject matters and aren’t afraid to tackle terrifying themes or produce stories of sad sentimentality. While hopeful holiday specials have their merit, there’s something enjoyable about a Christmas special that pushes back against the conventions of the...
