Series 9 (Doctor Who)

Series 9 of Doctor Who will begin filming in January 2015, for an airdate of 2015. This will be Peter Capaldi's second series as the Twelfth Doctor. Executive producer Steven Moffat could not, however, confirm in November 2014 the return of Jenna Coleman, who has played companion Clara Oswald since series 7.

New to Doctor Who, but not the DWU, this series will be Catherine Tregenna — the Torchwood writer will penning an episode of the series. In DWM 480, Michelle Gomez confirmed that she will return in series 9 as Missy, the latest incarnation of the Master who served as the central villain in series 8. Moffat teased in DWM 475, "I've figured out the cliffhanger to the penultimate episode of [series 9]. And it's a whopper. Ohh, I don’t think you'll see this coming!"
