The series stars Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, accompanied by companion actresses Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu.

Check out his quote below: “I was thinking about what a terrible world it is now, and how many stresses of mental health there are in young people. I wanted a hero who wasn’t closed, who wasn’t all stiff upper lip. And wasn’t swaggering or butch, either. When children are feeling scared of the future, and when they’re on TikTok laughing hilariously with their friends, the life of a young person, I think, is bigger and madder and wilder and richer than it was when I was young, where we just sat there and went to school.
