Things are getting animated in the latest trailer for Doctor Who season 2.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

A brand new trailer for the upcoming second season of Doctor Who has materialized and it looks like were in for a wild ride.

The official trailer (see below) emphasizes the epic scale of this season as Ncuti Gatwas Fifteenth Doctor, alongside new companion Belinda (Varada Sethu) embark on a journey across time and space and perhaps even realities on a quest to return The Doctors new BFF to Earth.

The latest trailer for one of the best Disney+ shows continues to delve into the mystery surrounding Belinda, and just why she bares more than a passing resemblance to Mundy Flynn, from last seasons Steven Moffat penned episode, Boom.

While showrunner Russell T. Davies original claimed Sethus casting was simply
a Karen Gillian-like case of a guest actor impressing enough to bag a
full-time role, its clear from the footage weve seen that this is far more
akin to Jenna Colemans initial appearance as Oswin, later revealed to be one
of many versions of Clara scattered throughout The Doctors timeline. All
will, of course, be revealed, but it makes for a tantalising hook as we
embark on Gatwas second season.

Thats far from the only thing whetting fans appetite though, as we also get a little bit more information of Traitors US host Alan Cummings new cartoon villain Mr Ring-a-Ding, who we previously saw emerge from the screen of a
1950s theatre.

This time out though, its the Doctor and Belinda being pulled into the
animated world. While Gatwa is far from the first Doctor to appear in cartoon form -- plenty of lost episodes have been given a reprieve in animation, and David Tennants Tenth Doctor received an animated special -- it marks a first for an episode of the main show.

Theres also another glimpse at the Interstellar Song Contest, hosted by Rylan Clark alongside what appears to be a member of New Earths cat-like race, a tease of a return to UNIT HQ featuring former companion Ruby (Millie Gibson), and plenty of rocket ships and robots. Interestingly, Anita Dobsons Mrs.
Flood is absent this time round, although expect to see her crop up
throughout the season as the mystery around her continues to build.

Also expected to return this season are UNIT members Mel (Bonnie Langford), Kate (Jemma Redgrave) and Shirley (Ruth Madely), despite the trio gearing up for their own spin-off. And Slow Horses fans are in for a treat as three
actors make the jump from Slough House in the form of Christopher Chung,
Kadiff Kirwan and a villainous Freddie Fox.

Season 2 is looking like an awful lot of fun, with historical adventure, futuristic action and plenty of humor and heart. And we dont have long to
wait either, with the season set to premiere on BBC iPlayer in the UK and Disney+, around the globe on April 12.
