The BBC has commissioned Doctor Who: Unleashed, a new access all areas show to accompany the upcoming season of Doctor Who.
Airing on BBC Three, the show will be hosted by Steffan Powell and will provide an insight into how Doctor Who is made through interviews with cast and crew.
Russell T Davies, Doctor Who Showrunner said:
“Over the years, I meet so many people who were inspired to find careers in TV, because of the behind-the-scenes material the BBC would show. And now it’s back, in the grand old tradition of Doctor Who Confidential, but in a brand new form, Unleashed! So a whole new generation – and faithful fans of old – can see what the stars and the crew get up to behind the cameras.”
The show follows in the footsteps of Doctor Who Confidential on BBC Three from 2005-2011, as well as the online companion shows Doctor Who Extra and Doctor Who: The Fan Show.
Fiona Campbell, Controller, Youth Audience (BBC iPlayer and BBC Three) said:
“Doctor Who is a show that needs no introduction, so it goes without saying that BBC Three and iPlayer are thrilled to introduce this incredible new series that invites viewers into the world of Doctor Who, showing them just what really goes on.”
Doctor Who: Unleashed is produced by Bright Branch Media for BBC Studios.
After a successful run as the 10th Doctor between 2005-2010, David Tennant is the 14th Doctor as part of the show’s 60th anniversary, airing on BBC One this November.
Jemma Redgrave returns as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, and Neil Patrick Harris takes on the role of the Toymaker, a powerful enemy last seen in 1966.
Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the 15th Doctor will air over the festive period.
