The BBC has announced that Bafta-winning actor, Lenny Rush, is going to be starring in the upcoming new season of “Doctor Who, where he will be taking on the role of Morris in the new series of “Doctor Who”, starring alongside Ncuti Gatwa, who plays the Fifteenth Doctor in the new series, which is returning in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will then air over the festive period.

Lenny has starred in numerous shows including “Dodger” and “A Christmas Carol”, but it was his starring role in Daisy May Coopers “Am I Being Unreasonable” that won him the Bafta for Best Male Performance in a Comedy Programme this year.

Speaking about joining Doctor Who, Lenny said in a statement:

“It’s an absolute honour to be part of Doctor Who, one of the most iconic shows on television and wow what a dream come true!”

Showrunner, Russell T Davies added:

“This is what Doctor Who’s all about, brand new talent from the next generation, and no one’s more talented than Lenny! He joins the TARDIS team just in time for the Doctor’s greatest nightmare, so hold on tight!”

“Doctor Who” will premiere exclusively on the BBC for the UK and Ireland, while Disney+ will be the exclusive home for new seasons of “Doctor Who” outside of the UK and Ireland.
