What Doctor Who Season 15’s Trailer Reveals About Gatwa’s Second Season
New Mysteries & Reunions Are Inbound
The latestDoctorWhoseason 15 trailer gives a better glimpse of how Gatwa’s second season will unfold. As opposed to past companions who choose to travel with the Time Lord, Belinda seems to be aboard the TARDIS for reasons outside of her control, relying on the Doctor and his vessel to get her home. While it is a familiar dynamic that was seen with William Hartnell’s very first TARDIS crew in 1963, the Doctor immediately draws connections between Belinda and season 14’s Mundy Flynn, suggesting something more powerful may be in play.
