DOCTOR WHO: NEIL PATRICK HARRIS JOINS THE CAST FOR 60th ANNIVERSARY

Emmy and Tony-winning actor and comedian Neil Patrick Harris joins Doctor Who for its 60th Anniversary celebrations in 2023.

Speaking earlier this year, Showrunner Russell T Davies said: “It’s my huge honour to open our studio doors for the mighty Neil Patrick Harris… but who, why, what is he playing? You’ll just have to wait. But I promise you, the stuff we’re shooting now is off the scale. Doctor beware!”

With David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprising their roles for the 60th anniversary, it has been confirmed that they will appear in three special episodes, set to air in November 2023.

The next Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, will then take control of the TARDIS, with his first episode airing over the festive period in 2023.

The three special episodes will transmit in November 2023 as Doctor Who celebrates its 60th anniversary.
