A new trailer for “Doctor Who’s” 12th series sees the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) facing a “big, serious crisis” — but she hasn’t lost her sense of humor, despite the fact that “something is coming” for her. Her foe remains mysterious, but we do see footage of the Doctor making her usual travels through time and space via the TARDIS.
“People can save planets or wreck them,” the Doctor says. “Be the best of humanity.”
Series 12 premieres January 1 on the BBC. This marks Whittaker’s second season playing the Doctor. She is the 13th actor to take on the role — and the first woman. “Broadchurch” and “Adult Life Skills” are among her other credits.
