Doctor Who season finale to screen in theaters across the UK this Summer
After much critical acclaim for Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor, the season finale of Doctor Who is set to screen in cinemas across the UK.
The two-part season finale, consisting of the episodes ‘The Legend of Ruby Sunday’ and ‘Empire of Death,’ will screen in theaters on June 21. Showings will begin at 11pm with the penultimate episode (which airs on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on June 15), followed by the final episode of the season which will play at midnight. You can check out the poster below.
The new season stars Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, with Millie Gibson as his companion Ruby Sunday. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, with some critics putting Gatwa in the running for best doctor of the show’s decades-long run.
