Doctor Who 2022 Centenary Special Release Date And All The New Updates

As part of the thirteenth series of Doctor Who (since the modern reboot, that is), the show concluded with The Flux, a story that turned time upside down and reintroduced classic villains such as the Sontarans and the Weeping Angels to the show.

In Season 13, Jodie Whitaker played the Doctor for the final time, and showrunner Chris Chibnall headed up the show for the final time. As a result, both characters have been announced as returning for a series of Specials throughout 2022.

As for the two televised episodes, the first one took place on New Year’s Day, and the second, Legend of the Sea Devils, aired on Easter Sunday.

The BBC and the Doctor Who team have been speculating that the episode might be televised shortly before Easter, most probably on Easter Sunday or Monday, due to the fact that this will be a bank holiday weekend.

In the year 2022, the adventures of the Doctor on the high seas commenced on Easter Sunday, that is, April 17, 2022. This is the last show featuring Jodie Whittaker and her adventure as the Doctor. It marks the end of the broadcaster’s 100-year history.

As such, this is a very significant episode for the BBC since it marks the broadcaster’s Centenary. The Centenary will be celebrated on  Tuesday, October 18, 2022.

Consequently, it is likely that the final episode of Doctor Who starring Jodie Whittaker will also air at either the same time or the same week if it is not shown on the actual October 18 itself.

Doctor Who 2022 Centenary Special Plot

“A massive, feature-length epic … brimming with surprises for fans of all ages” is what Matt Strevens teased to the episode’s executive producer in the final episode of Jodie’s run.

It is expected that there will be a big showdown between the two Time Lords as well as a greater understanding of the Timeless Child plot that was covered a bit more in The Flux.

There are high hopes that the Master will be working with the Daleks and Cybermen to take down the Doctor and the rest of her crew. It is quite surprising that all three villains appear in one episode together for the first time.

It is reasonable to expect that more references will be made to the Doctor’s relationship with Yaz after he reciprocated his feelings towards her in Legend of the Sea Devils.

It’s understandable that with Jodie’s run closing, all eyes are looking towards either a sad or a bittersweet ending.
