Doctor Who Trailer Reveals Start Of Jodie Whittaker's Regeneration

The BBC has released a new trailer for the Doctor Who Centenary Special teasing Jodie Whittaker's regeneration and the return of classic companions Tegan Jovanka and Ace. Jodie Whittaker's time as the Doctor is coming to an end. What's more, from an in-universe perspective, the Doctor knows it; at the end of Doctor Who: Flux she was given a warning by Time itself that this time there would be no regenerations.

Doctor Who's Spring Special, "Legend of the Sea Devils," revealed the weight of this knowledge is crushing the Doctor's spirit. Before, she'd tried to avoid entering into relationships because she knew she would outlive the ones she loves; now, in the latest companion romance with Yaz, the Doctor suspects she is the one whose time will soon come to an end. Worse still, Time warned the Doctor's enemies would be gathering to work against her, under the leadership of the Master himself.

"Legend of the Sea Devils" ended with a first look at the Centenary Special, which is expected to air in October. The trailer confirms the return of both Daleks and Cybermen under the Master's leadership, with the Master confident he has figured out a way to kill even the Timeless Child. What's more, it also features the return of two companions from the classic era - Sophie Aldred's Ace, who traveled with the Seventh Doctor, and Janet Fielding's Tegan - a companion of the Fourth and Fifth Doctors.

Doctor Who: Flux honored the show's tie-ins, and the Christmas Special "Eve of the Daleks" even introduced a type of Dalek that previously appeared in the "Time Lord Victorious" transmedia initiative. Given that's the case, it's quite surprising that the Doctor Who Centenary Special trailer confirms wider continuity is being ignored this time round; Ace confirms she hasn't met the Doctor in 30 years, essentially erasing a novel by Aldred herself. Hopefully the Centenary Special won't take the same approach with Tegan; an audio-adventure released in 2020 revealed Tegan and fellow companion Nyssa became an item, confirming a popular fan-theory. It would be good to see that particular concept officially confirmed on-screen, rather than erased as well.

The identity of the Fourteenth Doctor has yet to be revealed, but it's generally believed Doctor Who season 14 will begin filming shortly. If that is the case, it's can't be long before there's an announcement, as the casting decision will inevitably leak once production begins. The next few months should be particularly exciting for Doctor Who, as Whittaker's era comes to an end and the show prepares to introduce her replacement.
