As fans wait for Doctor Who<\/a> to return on screen at Christmas, some exciting news has just arrived \u2013 David Tennant will be returning as the Tenth Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tennant’s return will not be on-screen (that we know of)<\/a> but he will be back in audio form, playing his original incarnation of the Time Lord in 15 new Big Finish audio adventures.<\/p>\n

Twelve of these new adventures will be released bimonthly from summer 2027, while the other three will comprise a new box set in which the Tenth Doctor teams up with some of his other incarnations. The release date for that box set is yet to be confirmed.<\/p>\n

On returning as the Tenth Doctor, Tennant said in a statement: “Big Finish makes it dangerously easy \u2013 you turn up, have a lovely time, and suddenly you’ve saved the universe again.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Nicholas Briggs, Big Finish\u2019s creative director, added: “We\u2019re always on the look-out for David to return. He is such a busy, in-demand actor, sometimes it\u2019s just not possible for him to find the time to come to the studio.<\/p>\n

“But we\u2019re always ready and waiting with new stories to tell and now he\u2019s back and we\u2019re loving every minute of it. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride during these new adventures. They\u2019re fast, funny, scary audio dramas with surprises from the very first episode.”<\/p>\n

While Tennant is not currently expected to return to the TV series, having last been seen playing the Fourteenth Doctor in 2023’s 60th anniversary specials, we know that his co-star from his Tenth Doctor years, Billie Piper, will be.<\/p>\n

The most recent episode of the series ended with Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor regenerating into Piper \u2013 although there is still a question mark over whether she is actually playing the Doctor, or whether something else is going on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Doctor Who will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer this Christmas.<\/p>\n
