Doctor Who ended its second season with Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord with a shocking regeneration that brought back a fan-favorite star and introduced some big questions. But now that the series has been put out to tender, there is a question of how long it will take to return and if whoever is in charge next chooses to address those loose threads.
“The Reality War” also wrapped up the cliffhanger of the penultimate episode, of the Rani (Archie Panjabi and Anita Dobson, following a bigeneration) seeking to bring back Omega (who wanted to consume, not create new Time Lords) and even got Belinda (Varada Sethu) home when she’d needed to be (albeit for the daughter she hadn’t had initially, before the wish world, then the deconstruction of it, changed a few things). But the Doctor sacrificed himself, leading to a regeneration with a twist, when he became a character played by Billie Piper, who was notably not credited as the Time Lord.
Below, we take a look at the questions we still have after the Season 2 finale forDoctor Who, including ones that are lingering since the 60th anniversary specials in 2023.
