The new season will cover the back end of the nineties, as well as the early noughties.

Princess Diana’s tragic passing will be depicted, as will Prince William and Kate Middleton’s meeting at St Andrews University.

Imelda Staunton (The Queen), Jonathan Pryce (Prince Philip), Dominic West (Prince Charles), and Elizabeth Debicki (Princess Diana) will all return.

After over a year away, Doctor Who is returning this autumn to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

David Tennant is back as the titular Time Lord, and Catherine Tate is back as his companion Donna. The iconic duo will return for three specials later this year, penned by returning showrunner Russell T Davies.

Joining Tennant and Tate in the specials are Yasmin Finney, Ruth Madeley, Neil Patrick-Harris, and new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa.

Then, at Christmas, Gatwa will take control of the TARDIS in another special, along with Millie Gibson, before flying off for a new series of adventures in 2024.

All The Light We Cannot See – November 2023

Later this year, All The Light We Cannot See will drop on Netflix.

The four-part historical drama, based on the book of the same name, will land on the streaming platform in November.

The series follows the stories of a blind French teen girl named Marie-Laure and a German soldier named Werner. Their paths cross in occupied France during World War II.

Mark Ruffalo of Avengers fame and Hugh Laurie will star. The series has been written by Steven Knight, creator of Peaky Blinders, so there’s high hopes for it!
