Disney+ is previewing a Dr. Who holiday special starring Ncuti Gatwa and Nicola Coughlan.
"I love the fact that there will be little Black boys and girls out there being like: 'Oh, my God! That Doctor's me!'" he told UPI at the time. "That feels really beautiful, that level of representation, but it's mad, mad, MAD to think that I am the Doctor, in general."
In the trailer for Joy to the World, the Doctor enters a room with a massive golden Christmas tree.
"Is this Christmas?" he asks Trev, who is portrayed by Joel Fry.
"Yes, we're doing a special Christmas everywhere, all at once," he responds.He eventually runs into Joy (Coughlan), and the pair embarks on an adventure.
"When Joy checks into a London hotel in 2024, she opens a secret doorway to the Time Hotel -- discovering danger, dinosaurs and the Doctor," an official synopsis reads. "But a deadly plan is unfolding across the Earth, just in time for Christmas."
Joy to the World streams on Disney+ on Christmas Day.
