It’s a good day to be a Whovian. The trailer for season 2 of “Doctor Who” (or season 15, if you’re still counting this as part of the 2005 “NuWho” revival) has just dropped, and it promises a lot of excitement, adventure, and some very sharp outfits for the Doctor to try out.
The trailer also introduces the newest companion, played by Varada Sethu of “Andor” fame. Although Sethu’s character will be reportedly named Belinda Chandra in this season, she introduces herself here as “the Nurse.” It seems to be her cheeky way of making fun of the Doctor’s vague, somewhat self-important name for himself, but it also hints at what her job is before she joins the TARDIS.
It appears that Sethu will not be playing Mundy, the soldier she played in last season’s “Boom.” Given the trailer’s brief shoutout to Mundy, however, it seems like the two characters will definitely be connected. The trailer also promises the return of previous companion Ruby (Millie Gibson), as well as Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson), Ruby’s mysterious neighbor. There will also be skeleton dinosaurs, a giant alien spider, and a whole lot of end-of-the-world mishaps. In other words, “Doctor Who” is back!
