Doctor Who News Update: June 14th – June 21st, 2024

Here is your Doctor Who News Update: June 14th – June 21st, 2024. Bringing you news from all corners of the Whoniverse!

New Tales of the TARDIS

As mentioned previously, a new  episode of the Tales of the TARDIS spinoff series has aired, confirmed to be “The Pyramids of Mars.” This classic Fourth Doctor story has been re-edited into a feature-length episode with updated visual effects. Unlike previous episodes, this one is introduced by the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday, tying in nicely with the recent reappearance of Sutekh in “The Legend of Ruby Sunday.” This re-release is a great way for newer UK fans to discover classic Doctor Who, but unfortunately, Tales of the TARDIS remains unavailable outside the UK.

More New Books!

Three new Doctor Who books have been announced:

•  Updated with information and fun facts from all fifteen Doctors’ eras.
• Doctor Who: Annual 2025 (September 5th): Features a new Fifteenth Doctor story, facts about the series, and puzzles/games.
• Doctor Who: Fifteen Doctors 15 Stories (September 19th): A new edition of the short story anthology, including two new stories featuring the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors.

All three books are available for pre-order now.

Quick Update on Comics

Hold onto your hats, Whovians! Due to unexpected shipping delays, Titan Comics’ “Doctor Who: The Fifteenth Doctor #1” has been bumped to a July 3rd release. But, hey, good news first: this launch marks the 10th anniversary of Titan Comics’ Doctor Who adventures! Since 2014, they’ve been our trusty TARDIS through the comic universe, and now they’re diving into the Fifteenth Doctor’s era with style.

So, what’s in store for the Doc on July 3rd? Dan Watters, the mastermind behind Loki and Sandman Universe, throws the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday into a mysterious signal hunt in a dying Earth shopping mall. It’s a trap, for sure, but the Doctor’s gotta face those fears to find the source. Rated for ages 12+, this series is bursting with variant covers to collect.
