BBC America has released the very first teaser trailer for Series 9… and it’s both thrilling and kind of a disappointment.

Oh, don’t get me wrong: trailers are great and this one at least is directed nicely, giving us a cool close-up with the TARDIS, but there’s no, y’know, actual clips. Maybe it’s too early for clips.

Nonetheless, it’s good to get confirmation that the show returns this Autumn/Fall. Odds are on for the end of August (there’s a Bank Holiday then!) or the first weekend in September.

This teaser debuted in the finale of Orphan Black.

Series 9 will see Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor and Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald return to traveling through time and space across 12 episodes, with writing talent including Toby Whithouse (The God Complex), Mark Gatisss (Cold War), and Jamie Mathieson (Mummy on the Orient Express). Two female writers also join the roster: Torchwood‘s Catherine Tregenna, and Sarah Dollard (Being Human).

Showrunner, Steven Moffat has scripted the opening two-parter, The Magician’s Apprentice/ The Witch’s Familiar, and you can learn more about Series 9 from our dedicated news summary.
