Doctor Who: Jonathan Groff Signs on For Key Role

Jonathan Groff, a theatre and film star, will have a significant role in the upcoming season of Doctor Who.

To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Doctor Who will return in November 2023 with three special episodes starring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor. Then, during the holiday season, Ncuti Gatwa’s debut as the 15th Doctor will air.

After being cast as Jessie on Glee, Jonathan became a household name. Since then, he’s become a Hollywood superstar thanks to his performances in films like “Knock at the Cabin” and “Mindhunter,” in which he plays the lead role of Holden Ford. Jonathan is well-known for his voice acting roles in the ‘Frozen’ films and for his starring role as the new Agent Smith in The Matrix Resurrections.

Jonathan is well-known for his work off-Broadway as well, having been nominated for both a Tony and a Primetime Emmy Award for his performance as King George III in the hit musical Hamilton.

And now, in a mysterious and exciting guest role, he’s on his way to join the TARDIS crew.

Quotes from Jonathan and showrunner Russell T Davies says

Jonathan Groff says: “I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role!”

Showrunner, Russell T Davies says: “This is an incredible coup, and a great honour, to get such a huge star striding on to our set. So strap on your space boots, this is going to be a blast!”

The premiere of the new season of Doctor Who will air on the BBC in the UK and Ireland exclusively. Outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland, Disney+ will be the only place to watch new episodes of Doctor Who.
