By “Bridgerton” star Nicola Coughlan popped up via remote at San Diego Comic-Con Hall H today to offer a sneak peek at the next holiday special for “Doctor Who”.
Titled “Joy to the World,” the episode sees Coughlan playing Joy – a determined woman whose life is forever changed when she meets the Doctor.
Though Coughlan’s character hails from modern-day London, the clip takes us from Manchester in the 1940s to Mount Everest in 1953 and on the Orient Express in 1962.
Steven Moffat, who served as series showrunner during the Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi eras, is penning the script for the episode and recently said: “Nicola is wonderful in it, she will break your heart.”
The special comes ahead of the second season of Ncuti Gatwa’s “Doctor Who” run which has already been shot and wrapped filming in late May. No word as yet on another season.
“Doctor Who: Joy to the World” will premiere Stateside this December 25th on Disney+ service.
