Doctor Who: Jodie Whittaker set for her final appearance
Jodie Whittaker will make her final Doctor Who appearance in a 90-minute special.
The actress made history in 2017 as the first woman to take on the lead role in the long-running sci-fi drama.
In her final story, The Power of the Doctor, Whittaker will take on three of the Doctor’s best-known enemies – the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Master.
She will then regenerate at the end of the episode, after playing the role for five years.
The storyline for Whittaker’s final episode will also see the return of two companions from the program’s past.
They are Sophie Aldred’s Ace, who last appeared in the show in 1989 alongside Sylvester McCoy’s seventh Doctor, and Janet Fielding’s Tegan, who appeared with Tom Baker’s fourth Doctor and Peter Davison’s fifth Doctor.
The trailer for Sunday’s episode shows the pair firing machine guns at a group of Cybermen, as well as a brief glimpse of Ace plunging to the ground wearing a parachute.
The cast also includes characters who have appeared in the show more recently, including Jemma Redgrave’s Kate Stewart, the leader of the international military organization UNIT, and Sacha Dhawan’s the Master.
The Doctor’s current companions, John Bishop’s Dan and Mandip Gill’s Yaz will also be in the special episode.
The finale also marks the departure of head writer Chris Chibnall, who’s been in charge of the show for the entirety of Whittaker era.
