BBC America has been saying the new season of Doctor Who will premiere sometime in the fall. Until now, that’s as specific as anyone has gotten. But today that all changes as they’ve announced Doctor Who S11 premieres Sunday October 7. Having said that, the exact time of broadcast is yet to be determined. The show will air in the UK and the US at the very same time. A US encore will be broadcast in the show’s regular Sunday evening time slot.

With a new Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) and new friends Ryan (Tosin Cole), Yasmin (Mandip Gill) and Graham (Bradley Walsh), this eagerly-anticipated first season from new showrunner Chris Chibnall will welcome back fans and invite those who are new to Who.
