In a surprise announcement, Big Finish has revealed that their license does indeed now go up to “power of the.l Doctor” (whereas before it ended at “twice upon a time”) as Jodie Whittaker and Mandi Gill are officially joining big finish!
Theyll have 12 one-hour long audio dramas which start releasing in July 2025. (My guess is they’ll most likely be set in between “revolution of the daleks” and “flux”)I am actually really excited for this because Jodie has so much potential as the doctor and I don’t feel Chibnall knew what to do with her so I think getting a new lease on life in audio is exactly what 13 needs. Very similar to how Six and Eight went from peoples least favorite doctors to being the most complex doctors thanks the the big finish writers.
I think it will be great to see how new writers go about writing Jodie’s incarnation and will be interested to see how long she sticks around.
Add this to the previously announced “fugitive Doctor adventures” and “call me master” and we’ve got some REALLY good representation of the Chibnall era coming our way in 2025! I’m all for it!
