Doctor Who Season 2 Looks Totally INSANE (Trailer Breakdown)

[@Kangaroo27]

If you think Ruby is paralleling Rose, and Belinda is paralleling Martha, what if Anita is going to be season three’s companion to parallel Donna? Donna was also introduced in the Christmas special inbetween Rose (Ruby) and Martha (Belinda), and she has established a relationship with The Doctor that I think would be reasonable to assume would return

[@AllThePiecesMatter_]

Well that would tie-in with the criticism that RTD has no original ideas left.

[@animechannel2024]

anita is white so little chance of her returning to woketor who

[@Kangaroo27]

@ not true. I don’t think that’s where he’d be pulling spare ideas from, it’s really random and he’s been original elsewhere

[@Kangaroo27]

@ oh brother

[@jb1426-i1d]

Doctor Who?

[@youraveragedillon5958]

That cartoon coming out of the screen better be a scary episode. We need another scary weeping angel villain. Remember that Torchwood episode when the circus came out of the movie reel? Scary stuff

[@Ashagagal]

I love the episodes like Satan’s Pit, Blink and Midnight, I’d love to see Ncuti in a horror ep.

[@robertrawley1115]

Ellie, there was an Easter Egg for the Daleks in Joy to the World...tho I don't think we're going to see them in Series 2. After Anita hands the Doctor a plunger, he asks her if it was Armed. Thank you Steven Moffat...

[@calculator17]

Oh that would be amazing!

[@LiamKreißl]

I NEED that!!!

[@callummahon9798]

Yeasss that would be absolutely amazing and perfecttt

[@whophd]

Agree agree. But maybe do it out of order, like most fans of the classic series - we all watched it on repeats, in random order. I could even recommend going backwards via companions, starting with Ace, then Mel, then Peri, then … I think the Adric-Tegan-Nyssa-Turlough group. But I would recommend skipping the lower ranked episodes, and only watching the restored editions (Blu-ray mostly). So that means, begin with Remembrance of the Daleks, and ones like Curse of Fenric, will give an easy transition for a modern fan.

[@richardbradbury3658]

@@whophd Not sure why you think most classic fans watched out of sequence. I started in 1973 with Pertwee and Jo Grant in her final season when I was seven and watched them consecutively from that point on as they were shown, going back to view previous episodes as they became available (having read most in Target novelisation form as a kid). Most stories benefit from being seen in order, some - like the Key to Time - having distinct arcs and some villains evolving in a manner best seen in sequence (Kinda and Snakedance, for instance). I would strongly argue this is the ideal way rather than random episodes. Would also strongly argue against working backwards - most McCoy episodes were awful until the final season as were a significant number of Colin Baker's (I'd cite pretty much all of Trial of a TimeLord here, not even daring to mention Twin Dilemma).

[@TheDoctorWhoDon]

This season was made with feedback for the 2023 specials bear in mind, so season 1 criticisms may not be solved, but 60th criticisms likely will be.

[@danthemeegs8751]

True, although some Season 1 criticisms (i.e. rushed pacing) could be addressed in the edit

[@TheDoctorWhoDon]

@@danthemeegs8751 true

[@IanSmith2814]

I don’t think RTD cares about the viewer feedback to be honest.

[@TheDoctorWhoDon]

@@IanSmith2814 he has said he does, but that for season one he didn't have any because of how far in advance they were filming it.

[@cozyvrc]

5:36 I saw a comment of someone saying they hope Anita is like Donna where she shows up in a Christmas special and then is the companion later on(I kinda hope this too) If she’s the companion for season three, that will fit like perfect with this whole repeating RTD1 thing that’s going on

[@conwarlock3537]

Okay, hear me out: Mrs Flood is theorized to be the God of Stories. Doctor Who is also now Disney property, making it a part of the MCU multiverse. Now who has the title as God of Stories in the MCU? Loki. Seeing as Mrs Flood would be the God of Stories it might actually be possible to go that meta and make at least a reference or two about that.

[@roguequakewitch]

Belinda is also giving major Tegan vibes with the Doctor needing to get her home, literally she states/demands outright like Tegan used to do!

[@terrier_productions]

I want at least 1 of 2 things to happen in S15 / Season 2 - 1) Return of classic villain(s) such as Daleks, Cyberman, Weeping Angels 2) More grounded episodes that are not a emotional overload or a laughing matter

[@whophd]

It is always good how season 2 & 3 of any Doctor develops, especially when you don’t quite gel with their first one. Tenth and Twelfth Doctor especially, they felt like they could show us what they could do after bedding in.

[@timothyweers8054]

DW has had companions who were more interested in getting back home in the past. Barbara and Ian were more wanting to leave the tardis, until they realized that they couldn't go back directly. Tegan wanted to get back to Heathrow airport for her job with multiple misses to get there. It wasn't until she had lost her job between Time-Flight and Arc Of Infinity she was more happier to travel in the tardis.

[@Lia-zw1ls7tz7o]

12:18 Based on the fact that there is an ocean surface on the top of the frame, I think this is actually underwater.

[@CannonFoddr]

Agree - & I also notice there's 2 people higher up than the rest of the group..... The Doc & Compaznion perhaps following another group ??

[@Lia-zw1ls7tz7o]

@@CannonFoddr Oooh, great observation! Yeah, could be.

[@ianbd77]

A companion who just wants to go home? The doctor took a extraordinarily long time trying to get a gobby Australian to Heathrow airport 😂

[@jackdavinci]

I did immediately think Cuphead, but Cuphead itself was inspired by the style of old Disney cartoons like Steamboat Willy, so full circle I guess

[@sol15_]

I really hope there are no ‘doctor-lite’ episodes this season, don’t get me wrong I really enjoy these episodes and it gives the companions time to shine, but I think that they were okay when the series was 12+ episodes long, but when it’s only 8 episodes like last season I think these types of episodes really take away from ncuti gatwa

[@mrdr0161]

I don't think there will be. The Doctor lite episodes were only in the last series because of Ncuti filming sex education. But he wasn't filming anything else while doing rhe new series

[@stocktonjoans]

Mrs Flood wasn't watching the cartoon that came out of the screen, no body takes opera glasses to the cinema, even back when that style of animation was contemporary

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Yeah. I wouldn't say her outfit was 1950's either.

[@Yattien89]

Fairly sure Mrs Flood wouldn't give a shit what the "proper" thing was. But yes, it is likely a misdirect.

[@stocktonjoans]

@@Yattien89 really? she always seems to be era appropriate

[@Yattien89]

@@stocktonjoans We've only seen her in modern times, no? (Genuine question, I might be forgetting). But even so, she doesn't strike me as the type to be bothered about what is considered normal. As I said though, I do agree with you regardless, she's almost definitely not watching the movie.

[@judithstrachan9399]

She seems to be in a darker theatre than the screamers & the climbing cartoon.

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

If Belinda ends up being a modern day Tegan, I won't be upset 😁

[@warrengilson1835]

[@elliesteele2027]

Yeah the doctor just straight up kidnapped Ian and Barbara lol

[@adamfreddo5703]

Minor spoilers for season 2... Filming for the finale, posters for something involving "May Day" have been spotted. So if the final episode is timed for that day then it'd need to start in March.

[@whophd]

10:00 OMG! Let’s do a NEW review of the season 1 trailer, now that we KNOW what everything means. What were the misdirections!?? Good new easy content. We can even go back to older trailers too!

[@rockbandny]

That huge animation thing looks sick

[@JD.ONLINE]

if this companion trend continues does that mean that the older woman introduced in the christmas special between the two younger companions comes back as the companion for season 3??? ANITA CONFIRMED AS SEASON 3 COMPANION???

[@JD.ONLINE]

@ Hey so reading was a skill we learned when we were like 3 years old. Look at the title is says “Doctor Who” that means that the video and comments on here are about Doctor Who, I know crazy right? It’s hard to read for some people I know.

[@MR_football27]

Joy to the world was so much better than i expected, so im acc hyped for season 2. Please dont mess this up Russell T Davies

[@dudeatmars]

The comments on FB and instagram are so mean and nastily how is this the dr who community, they seem to get offended by his clothes and his emotion, I love this open version of the dr, bring on season 2 and 3

[@Yattien89]

Most fandoms have the toxic extreme side. People who don't realise the show isn't for them anymore and should move on. Yet they'll still watch the show even if they don't like it cos they need to complain. They just like being loud and obnoxious about it as they think people care.

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

I mean... Neil Patrick Harris's character *was* a returning monster. I think the other two "gods", too, IIRC. If we are continuing with those, adding more might be overdoing it. Then again, if there's a throwaway episode with returning monsters, I hope it's the Angels.

[@nikohatbot]

i dont think mrs flood is watching the cartoon. she's got those wee binoculars you only really see at stage shows, and the actions of the audience around her suggest its stage too because they not locked in like if you were at The Pictures

[@jayreynolds8647]

When watching the trailer, The Timeless Child arc came to mind quite a bit because, through that arc, The Doctor was snatched as a child from another dimension/universe... and a large part of me feels like both Season 1 and now Season 2 could be playing up to a "visit home" where the doctor gets to actually learn more about their own origins? I could be way off base here, but it just gave me that vibe.

[@adammarriott8686]

Properly they'll release a second trailer with the release dates and let's hope there will be more episodes for season 2

[@GoodKingMort]

To me, that shot of Mrs Flood reminds me of a sort of… theatre of the gods, watching the Earth as a form of entertainment. Sort of like Jason and the Argonauts.

[@mothshade]

I take a shot at every mention of "vibe" in a video. Keep up the good work.

[@whophd]

Thinking of those robots … when are we ever getting David Mitchell on screen? He would make a wonderful master villain … he has certainly done a turn roleplaying as one a few times, and knows how to go to 11.

[@stocktonjoans]

If Maestro was the anthropomorphic personification of Music, it isn't a huge leap to think there could very well also be an anthropomorphic personification of Art, Dance, Drama etc, I reckon that's what we're seeing when the animation comes out of the screen

[@ReverendPuck]

Mrs. Flood accidentally looking like Gary Oldman in Bram Stroker's Dracula.

[@oathgroved]

I actually think Ruby won't be working for UNIT because we saw the leaked scene of her working in a pub. Maybe for one episode UNIT asks for her help to find the doctor?

[@myturtle7620]

It could be that the 15th Doctor and the ones to come dont have a Iconic Singular Look like the others but a Iconic Style instead. Like the 15th is a Vibrant and Fun and the next could be a whole new style, maybe darker? Maybe quirkier? Maybe even bland? Etc. Just examples and a thought in the back of my head watching the 15th so far.

[@bakura23]

The shot of Mrs flood and the shot of the cartoon are clearly different scenes. You can see in the shot with the cartoon in the cinema you can see its mostly empty when flood is surrounded and in the shot with flood the crowd is cheering which you wouldn't do in a cinema.

[@keithmcmanus2406]

Obviously, you haven't been to a Wicked screening.

[@robmortimer4150]

I think the guest spots for companions are likely a way to introduce the filming process with less pressure of the new actor

[@TailsTheFoxy]

To me it's always funny how people want realism in a show about a guy traveling through time and space with a suped up phone booth. 😂

[@ZarcNightstoneDimensionDragonU]

Is it just me or does Ruby’s outfit in the teaser kind of look like Harriet from the Season 1 finale’s outfit (maybe Ruby has taken on that person’s position since as of Empire of Death Harriet is dead, ironically I think the only person dead in the episode at the end of it minus potentially Sutekh)

[@Spectritus]

I'm surprised Ellie hasn't understood that the leather coat outfit is the 15th Doctor's main costume.

[@tnlwithtrixiekat478]

In 4 years Ellie will be cast as a new iteration of River.

[@learnmore3714]

The TARDIS wardrobe is mentioned a lot and never really used so I suppose it makes sense to head that direction. Maybe we will get the swimming pool at some point? Do we want that though? To me the TARDIS is like the Doctors name.. best left mostly mysterious.

[@kevinfeather3206]

Certainly appears to be a far more exciting season than the least one. Also very excited for the new companion Belinda and hopefully for a better interaction with the the Doctor. I don’t have any issues at all with Milly or her acting, but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the the Doctor/companionship of the first season. Maybe you hit the nail on the head, in that it was all nicey nicey and didn’t feel real, but glad she’s still there with UNIT. In answer to your thoughts on the doctors outfit - wish they would keep it the same or with only occasional swap outs if the story requires it i.e. a period piece.

[@BenChanNYC]

When are the producers going to wise up and give Ellie some kind of role in an episode of the show?

[@elianas1121]

If Mrs Flood is potentially the god of stories, it’s even possible the parallels between Martha and Belinda are deliberate and will be lampshaded in-universe.

[@SanctumSanctorumVidz]

3rd DOCTOR changed his outfits all the time. They all had a very similar style, but it wasn't always the same costume.

[@Ludecris]

I was thinking that Mrs. Flood is Anita from Joy To The World. If you think about it a little, it fits. It’s been leaked that it’s coming 28 or 26 March 2025.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

You don't need to explain yourself, it is the 12 days of Christmas after all.

[@TheReal-Skymario]

14:03 I think that 15th main outfit is his leather jacket that he’s has worn in the specials and Dot and Bubble in my opinion I wish he would wear it more like for the series opener finales and any Doctor-lite episode (like did he really need a new outfit for 73 yards)

[@MrCmsch]

Take off that hat Ellie: “no I shan’t!”

[@panduh_go_crazy-.-9957]

i do hope the next doctor sticks to one outfit so it makes 15th style more unique to him

[@Flatbrimcauthon]

9:48 is that Ruby next to Mrs Flood??? It very much looks like her!

[@judithstrachan9399]

It does!

[@paymonbak]

7:38 I believe more episodic with some arcs in between feels more like doctor who to me. Doctor who is an adventure based character that could go anywhere , anytime. Serialized doctor who would only put restrains on the writers imagination

[@hafsahyaser9619]

I'm surprised no one made the connection to Disney's involvement considering the old cartoon looks like old Disney cartoons. 🤔 Also I'm saying it right now and I Hope I'm right but I think it would be really cool if the cartoon itself was the god!

It's notable that unlike the first teaser trailer for Season 1 which told us that the series would begin in May with this teaser trailer they didn't tell us when in 2025 the series is coming at all which makes me think they are aiming for an earlier release around March or April but of course can't promise just yet since they need to make sure it will be ready for then! And I have to say, as someone who enjoyed Season 1, I think that despite this being a very short teaser this season already looks LEAGUES better and I think what will benefit it greatly is that there will be more writers and you can already tell, this looks quite different to Season 1 and I love it, I'm especially excited for the cartoons coming to life episode, that looks SO cool and genuinely something Doctor Who has NEVER done before!

I prefer a series with an episodic structure, where each episode stands alone while subtly hinting or building towards a larger overarching threat that the characters will ultimately confront at the series' conclusion. This approach evokes nostalgia for 90s series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Trek, particularly Deep Space Nine. Though I was only a child then.

Laptop back up, and as an American, I believe you have every right to keep whatever festive spirit you have going as long as you want, even if I never felt it myself. Do your own thing. Also, on laptop I can see elf ears, and I totally support that, obviously. Kate hires former companions because she wants to keep track of them, and all of the darker undertones along with that idea. All in all, it looks promising. As usual, I am cautiously optimistic.
