LOS ANGELES -- The TARDIS will touchdown for a new season of "Doctor Who," arriving April 12 on Disney+!

In the latest trailer for the upcoming season, the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and his new companion, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu), or as she calls herself, "the Nurse," adventure to the distant realms of space and time on an epic quest to get her back to Earth.
