Big news! Entertainment Weekly has exclusively announced that the new season of Doctor Who is set to premiere Saturday, April 23.
Here’s some more background on the premiere: “Doctor Who is coming to America in a spectacular two-part season premiere on BBC AMERICA. Part One premieres Saturday, April 23. The mysterious time traveler, the Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah — right to the Oval Office in 1969. More details will be revealed in the coming weeks about this two-parter penned by ‘Who supremo’ Steven Moffat (Sherlock) and featuring guest star Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica). Also set to return this season, Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward), as the irrepressible River Song.”
Oh, and here’s a first look at the awesome new poster for the new season:

Love this show can’t wait for the new season !!!!
I am sooo excited!
Is there any info on whether it will air at the same time in Britain? You know, for all us Americans who’ve made a pilgrimage?
I love the poster. It kind of reminds me of Harry Potter the way the Doctor is holding the sonic screwdriver like a wand and how the poster is lit up. I do like it though. So glad they are showing it in America the same time they are in the UK.
Same day as U.K.. Also St.George’s day
SO excited that we Whovians in the US don’t have to wait extra days or weeks!!!
So, will DirecTV have BBC America in HD, or will I have to download HD episodes to watch from the UK over the Internet?? I’m excited about the new season, but wish BBCA delievered HD content like all my other channels!
It’s nice to get it the same day and all, but will we still only get 2/3 of the episode?
great news we, as fans, can share the same time and space… thanks
Bout time! They can’t makem fast nough for me.
Greetings from New Mexico, USA!!
It’s about time the “Doctor” is IN….can’t wait for his new show and Amy’s and Rory’s too!!
It’s just the “PRESCRIPTION” we’ve all been waiting for!
looking back i had watched more doctor who episodes than i had thought . the show is very good and it is better science fiction than some of the other shows . can’t wait as the others have said for the new season to begin !
How about a hi-res version of that splash image?!
Can’t wait!!! Love Dr. Who!
Extremely excited for the premiere!!! Have to agree with previous post, as when will DirecTV have BBC America in HD????!!!!!!!!! And would love to see a larger image of the new poster!! So grateful that BBC America is televising the new episodes on the same date as in the U.K.!! Thanks BBC America!! You’re Cool!!!
Artie, since BBCA obtained first run rights to Doctor Who in the US, they have aired every episode uncut on its premier broadcast. Since several episodes last season were actually ran a little short, most of last season’s episodes should have been uncut on every airing (although I confess I did not watch every repeat). Even longer episodes that are sometimes rerun with cuts get uncut repeats from time to time.
YAY!!!!!! This really has become what I live for! Well, maybe I’m exaggerating, but just a little. lol! I CANNOT wait for April 23rd!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms, but I think I can make it. =) =) =)
Follow me…and trust your Doctor!!!
