Thirteenth Doctor, Jodie Whitaker, Is Returning To The 'Doctor Who' Franchise
Jodie Whittaker is coming back to the Whoniverse in an interesting manner. A twelve-episode audio series titled The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures is currently in the works! This comes in a collaboration between BBC Studios and Big Finish Productions, a company that specializes in physical and audiobook production. As it’s a full-cast production, the Thirteenth Doctor’s companion Yaz, played by Mandip Gill, will also be returning. This audio series is currently available for preorder either per episode, a full physical copy and digital download, or only a digital download, all on Big Finish’s website.
Whittaker spoke on the collaboration and return to the character, explaining (via Big Finish), “I’m over the moon to be joining Big Finish for more adventures in the TARDIS. Recording the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz is a really lovely thing to revisit.” She continued, “One of the things Mandip and I used to love on Doctor Who was getting in, doing a new episode and meeting a brand-new cast. I just can’t wait to step back into the boots, pull on the coat and get cracking. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to be brilliant.”
