I guess this is what RTD was teasing the other day on Instagram...

Radio Times adds that

The BBC has now confirmed that the new season, which will see Ncuti Gatwa at the helm as the Fifteenth Doctor, will begin on 11th May, with not one, but two episodes being released at midnight on BBC iPlayer.

The episodes will then arrive on BBC One later that day, before the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final.

That will continue for the rest of the season, with viewers being able to choose when they tune in for the Fifteenth Doctor's adventures, with the episodes also dropping on Disney Plus around the world at the same time.

Showrunner Russell T Davies said: "At last, it's my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby's adventures together.

Previously giving hints about what season 14 could entail at the premiere of The Star Beast, Davies waved away rumours of possible villainous comebacks.

He said: "It's very new. Ncuti's new and Millie is new, and it was new to us with Disney and the whole new era, as it were. So I didn't want to look... there are no Daleks, there are no Cybermen, I didn't want to look back too much."
