Doctor Who season 13 hasn't started filming at the moment. Production for the upcoming installment has been delayed due to the current global health crisis. But, it looks like the cast and crew are getting ready to start working again soon.
According to a report from Radio Times, a source claimed that filming for Doctor Who season 13 is still going ahead in 2020 as planned, potentially starting in the coming weeks. Also, the premiere date is slated in 2021. But, this may depend on the current situation and other circumstances.
Previously, some suggest that the new season won't be airing until 2022 on BBC. Now, if the production will push through in the coming weeks, there is a possibility that a 2021 premiere date will be followed. Everyone could begin working as long as there are no setbacks coming in the way.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen how social distancing could affect the lengthy production of the series. BBC hasn't confirmed or denied any rumors about the potential changes to the format. Fans need to wait for a while before they see how much of Doctor Who season 13 they can get once it premieres.
Right now, there are only a few details as to what we can expect in the new season. But, some rumors suggest that Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole won't be reprising their roles Graham and Ryan, respectively. Meanwhile, Mandip Gill's Yaz will continue to travel with Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor.
As for what else is coming, it's uncertain if the new season will introduce a new companion or will bring back old monsters. There's also a question whether or not Sacha Dhawan's Master will return in Doctor Who season 13. The actor told the aforementioned website that he hasn't been asked as of yet.
Even though there's no confirmation right now, Dhawan revealed that he would love to come back in the series. He noted that he's interested to see where they'll take his character moving forward. After all, Master is unpredictable and can get out of anything.
Despite the uncertainties about Doctor Who season 13, the good news is that the holiday special has been filmed already. The story is all about the Revolution of the Dalek. They were able to film the episode prior to the production shut down. It was shot long before the lockdown. We could expect the episode coming in late 2020 or in early 2021.
