Today, the trailer and premiere dates were revealed for the three new “Doctor Who” 60th anniversary specials, set to debut on Disney+ in Australia. The three specials, titled “The Star Beast” (Nov. 26), “Wild Blue Yonder” (Dec. 3) and “The Giggle” (Dec. 10) will reunite the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) and Donna Temple-Noble (Catherine Tate) as they come face-to-face with their most terrifying villain yet: the Toymaker (played by Neil Patrick Harris in his “Doctor Who” debut).
Additional new cast includes Yasmin Finney as Rose Temple-Noble and Miriam Margolyes as the voice of the Meep, as well as returning characters Jacqueline King as Sylvia Noble, Karl Collins as Shaun Temple, Ruth Madeley as Shirley Anne Bingham, and Jemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart.
“Doctor Who” is the longest running action-adventure television series in the world spanning 60 years and winning over 100 awards. This quintessentially British show has a huge global following, with 9.6m fans across social platforms/channels and 100m video views on YouTube in the last year alone.
“Doctor Who” is produced by Bad Wolf and BBC Studios. The series returns under the creative vision of returning showrunner Russell T. Davies, who also serves as a writer and executive producer. Additional executive producers include Phil Collinson, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner and Jane Tranter. The 60th-anniversary specials are written by Russell T. Davies and directed by Rachel Talalay, Tom Kingsley, and Chanya Button, respectively.
A new season of “Doctor Who,” featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor will stream globally in 2024 on Disney+ and on the BBC in the UK and Ireland.

There’s still no mention of Doctor Who in the coming soon section on my Xbox, and it’s only two weeks away.
With only 4 or 5 days left before the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary specials begin, there still isn’t a trailer available on Disney+ in Australia. Other programs that start even as far away as the end of December have trailers available, so why not Doctor Who??
Hi Julia – that’s likely an issue in the deal in place between the BBC and Disney. I’m sure Disney would post a trailer if they could.
