“Doctor Who’s” Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) is set to return to the Whoniverse in a holiday special on BBC America. In the upcoming special, titled “Revolution of the Daleks,” Captain Jac…

In the upcoming special, titled “Revolution of the Daleks,” Captain Jack will be on hand to help the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions as they uncover an unsettling plan by one of the Doctor’s formidable enemies, the Daleks. With the Doctor locked away in a space prison, it’s up to Captain Jack to help save planet Earth.

“Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of ‘Doctor Who’ was just like going back home,” Barrowman said. “It’s always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He’s a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack’s heroic adventure with Thirteen.”

The easy-going Captain previously made a brief surprise appearance in the fifth episode of Season 12, “Fugitive of the Judoon,” where he provided a warning to Yaz , Ryan and Graham to pass on to the Doctor. “After a tantalisingly brief appearance in ‘Fugitive of the Judoon,’ it’s a total joy and thrill to welcome back John as Captain Jack,” said Matt Strevens, executive producer at BBC Studios. “One of the most iconic characters in ‘Doctor Who’ lore, his presence ignites this holiday special from the start.”

Captain Jack first appeared in the beloved series in 2005, appearing in multiple episodes. Prior to his Season 12 appearance, he was last seen in the 2010 episode “The End of Time.” Barrowman was the star of the “Doctor Who” spin-off “Torchwood,” which ran from 2006 to 2011.

JohnBarrowman Mr Barrowman would be amazing as Vicomte de Valmont in Dangerous Liaisons . Perfect for that role just like John Malkovich was back then ! 🎥🎬🇬🇧💕

bbcdoctorwho Yo... horny on set

bbcdoctorwho And suddenly 2020 has a highlight 😊

bbcdoctorwho 2021 may be the time to bring back TORCHWOOD on TV, methinks ... especially if the brilliant JohnBarrowman and the fabulous TeamEveMyles are also in it as Jack and Gwen! It's been almost ten years since MiracleDay ... still plenty of mileage in it, as bigfinish has proved!

bbcdoctorwho The best news

bbcdoctorwho Do they mean “Christmas” special

bbcdoctorwho is so desperate for ratings. Don't get me wrong I like Jack but this, yeah no. Fire Chibnall and get a more competent writer in Toby Whitehouse wrote some good episodes and he didn't shit on over 50 yrs lore. Dr Who ended after Capaldi left.

bbcdoctorwho Can’t wait to see him! Hopefully in Torchwood again.

JohnBarrowman I CAN'T WAIT! ❤🤗❤🤗❤
