Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill join Big Finish!

Made my day! Excited to see what plans they have for this. Definitely the right decision to keep it 13 and Yaz.

13,Yaz, Fugitive and Spy Master... What a year it's going to be for fans of this era!

Oh brilliant! I met Jodie at a con a couple of weeks ago and a lot of people were asking her about Big Finish ahead of me. She had a look on her face that was either despair from being asked constantly or coy in a knowing way; seems like it was the latter.

Looking forward to more details. Jodie has done a lot of different audio snippets as the Doctor during her tenure so she’ll be a natural.

Bi-monthly releases is interesting; that’ll take them til mid-2027. With three Thirteen era releases and being planned so far in advance they have an opportunity to do something really special and add the connective tissue without necessarily being a crossover. For example, events in the Fugitive range come into play in the Thirteen one as she’s delving into her past, like we pick up with her and Yaz in Flux.

2 things.. A lot of comments online about "6th Doctoring up her character" (more quality writing)

and:

There was no Leak from the website much like what happened with Chris Eccleston, then BF tried to deny it

YYYEEESSS!!!

While I never truly loved the majority of stories of the Chibnall run, I've always felt that Jodie herself was severely underrated in the role. I can't wait to get to hear her once again And having Mandip along for the ride is great news too! This is the first announcement in quite some time that has gotten me genuinely excited about an upcoming Big Finish project. Just a shame we'll have to wait a full year for the first one...

I'm absolutely thrilled about this, and that Yaz (my favourite of Jodie's travelling companions and someone with still so much of a story to tell) is joining her. I'm also really pleased to read such positivity about this announcement. Once more - what would I do without Big Finish? Right, I'd better start saving up for this!

Mixed feelings on the Chibnall era, but Whittaker always shone in the role even with the... questionable dialogue of many episodes. Can't wait to see what a different set of writers can do with her character.

I wonder if there's any chance they can get Segun Akinola back to do the music?

It's intresting to look at the people attached to the series so far: matt fitton as script editor (not too surprising) and Noga Flaishon as producer who's only credits with Big Finish are a story for the War Doctor (Mother's Love) and producing Missy Series 4.

I knew this day would go but sadly it’s come too soon

This is amazing!

I’m really excited to see this announcement!

I’ll admit, I fell off the boat during Jodie’s run on TV, though I managed to catch up on most of it afterwards, seeing her and Mandip Gill returning is excellent news to wake up too!

I really hope that Big Finish can get Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole return as Graham and Ryan respectively.

More importantly, I’m looking forward to the 13th Doctor being integrated into the larger expanded universe!

After a miserable week of being sick, this is the first thing to really put a smile on my face.

Edit: where can I put money does that Nick Briggs will be writing her first story?
