Without the usual season’s run to build interest in the Christmas special, and also to tie in with the release of the Doctor Who spinoff, Class (more on that in a moment), BBC America has announced its first ever Doctor Who panel for New York Comic-Con, on Friday, October 7th.
The next Doctor Who Christmas special will air this holidays on BBC1 and BBC America. Season 10 will air in Spring, 2017.
How Class will fare, especially when Doctor Who has been absent on our screens for more than a year, remains to be seen.
Doctor Who might not be airing a full season this year, but we’ve still got the annual Christmas special to look forward to, before season ten arrives in Spring 2017.
