Doctor Who Just Cast Its First Season 2 Villain

As a seasoned gamer and avid sci-fi enthusiast with a soft spot for Doctor Who, I must say that the news of Archie Panjabi joining Season 2 has sent my TARDIS spinning with excitement! With her impressive resume spanning multiple continents and genres, she’s bound to bring a captivating villainy that will keep us on the edge of our seats.


In this rephrased version: It’s been reported that the villain for Season 2 of “Doctor Who” has been cast. As per Deadline, Emmy Award-winning actor Archie Panjabi is set to join the second season as a villainous character. However, specific details about Panjabi’s role remain undisclosed. Production on the second season has already been completed, as announced by showrunner Russell T. Davies in May, and it’s expected to premiere sometime in 2025 across Disney+ and BBC One.

Pooja Baneshwar, recognized primarily by American viewers for her role as Pinky Kaur Bhamra in the 2002 movie “Bend It Like Beckham”, has also graced the screens in films like “The Constant Gardener” (2005), “A Good Year” (2006), “A Mighty Heart” (2007), and “San Andreas” (2015). Her small-screen appearances encompass BBC Two’s “The Fall”, BBC’s “Shetland”, NBC’s “Blindspot”, TNT’s “Snowpiercer”, Hulu’s “Under the Bridge”, and her role as Kalinda Sharma on CBS’ “The Good Wife”, which earned her an Emmy in 2010. Currently, she can be seen in Peacock’s “Departure”.

Regarding the forthcoming season of Doctor Who, it’s been previously verified by showrunner Russell T. Davies that Millie Gibson’s character, Ruby Sunday, won’t be written off. Despite a heartfelt farewell between Ruby and The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) in the Season 1 finale, Davies has hinted that we’ll see Gibson reprising her role as Ruby, implying that her storyline is not yet concluded.

Davies assured me, “Without a doubt, Ruby Sunday hasn’t wrapped up her tale yet. You’ll notice Millie Gibson returning soon. This isn’t a spoiler; it’s a solid truth we’re thrilled about.

It’s also worth mentioning that there are still unresolved aspects to the Mrs. Flood enigma, as it has already been announced that Anita Dobson, who plays Mrs. Flood, will reappear in Season 2. Previously, Davies hinted that the quest to uncover Mrs. Flood’s true identity would be an exhilarating adventure.

“Davies had wondered before why Mrs. Flood was up on that roof speaking like that. Now all he can say is, you’re about to experience something truly extraordinary.

In simple terms, the popular series “Doctor Who” is coming back for a holiday special titled “Joy to the World”. This upcoming episode is set to star actress Nicola Coughlan from the hit show “Bridgerton”.

Previously, Davies mentioned that although he can’t reveal too much, work has already started on an extraordinary Christmas special. He described it as one of the craziest you’ll ever witness during the holiday season. Furthermore, it’s a grand spectacle, traveling to numerous locations. And it tells an engaging story about who the Doctor becomes when he’s all by himself.

Doctor Who is now streaming on Disney+.
