Doctor Who: Jodie Whitaker, Mandip Gill Return for New Thirteenth Doctor Adventures

As a longtime fan of Doctor Who, I’m absolutely thrilled to hear that Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill are returning for more adventures with the Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz at Big Finish! I’ve been a devoted viewer since the show’s revival in 2005, and their dynamic duo was one of my favorite pairings.


Jodie Whittaker will once again take on the role of The Doctor in “Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures” by Big Finish Audio. This series consists of 12 full-length, hour-long audio stories, set to release starting in July 2025. Jodie Whittaker portrayed The Doctor on BBC’s “Doctor Who” for three consecutive seasons from 2017 to 2022. Mandip Gill, who played the companion Yaz, was a constant presence throughout these seasons and appeared in every televised adventure with The Doctor until her final one.

“I’m thrilled beyond belief to be collaborating with Big Finish once again for more journeys in the TARDIS,” Whittaker expresses in a statement issued by Big Finish. “Recording The Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz is an enjoyable experience that I look forward to repeating. One aspect of ‘Doctor Who’ that Mandip and I enjoyed immensely was diving into a fresh episode and encountering a new ensemble cast. I eagerly anticipate slipping back into the role, donning the coat, and getting started. It’s going to be nothing short of extraordinary.”

Gill shares her excitement, “Doctor Who has significantly influenced both my professional and personal journey. I am eager to explore new dimensions of my character in this thrilling show. It’s a privilege to collaborate with Jodie once more; our bond is unique, and I’m positive our recording sessions will be marked by countless moments of joy and laughter.”

The new “Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures” series from Big Finish is the latest addition to the lineage following Chris Chibnall’s stint as the showrunner. Earlier, it was announced that Jo Martin would return as the Fugitive Doctor and Sacha Dhawan would star as the Master in separate series.)

The Thirteenth Doctor Returns to Doctor Who

As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of Doctor Who, I’m thrilled to share that Big Finish is marking its 25-year milestone in creating full-cast audio dramas this year. When we were given the green light to produce new stories featuring the Thirteenth Doctor, my team and I jumped right in. I’m elated that Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill have chosen to rejoin us for these projects. Their performances are truly unmatched. Plus, we have two more exciting series coming up – one for the Fugitive Doctor, brilliantly portrayed by Jo Martin, and another for the Master, masterfully played by Sacha Dhawan. The year 2025 is shaping up to be a brilliant time for the Thirteenth Doctor and her companions!

Nicholas Briggs shares, “During my time working with Jodie and Mandip on the TV set, they extended such warm welcomes to me. I’m eager to reciprocate their kindness now. They are genuinely delightful individuals, brimming with excitement for this endeavor.”
