Here’s The TV Trailer and Cast List For Hell Bent!

He’s come home… the long way round.

Yep, the Doctor is back on Gallifrey. We’re not hiding this. You should’ve seen Heaven Sent by now, and if you haven’t ever other news outlet has already spoiled that ending for you already.

So what can we expect from Hell Bent, the Series 9 finale? The above TV trailer is both massively exciting, and spoilerific. It’s not like it tells you everything that’s going to happen (ala Face the Raven!), but we do, for instance, see… Daleks. Someone important holding the Doctor’s hand. A significant console room and the TARDIS. A Weeping Angel – or so it seems. And a familiar looking barn.

Who’s in it, apart from Peter Capaldi then? We have Clare Higgins, back as Ohila, followed by the Sisterhood of Karn, who we last saw in The Magician’s Apprentice. There may be some timey-wimey twisting goodness to be had here, but that’s pure speculation. Maisie Williams returns as Ashildr/Me; and Ken Bones crops up again as the General, a Time Lord who we last saw in the 50th anniversary special, The Day of the Doctor.

The President is played by Donald Sumpter, who some will know from Jekyll & Hyde, Atlantis, or, Game of Thrones, but Doctor Who fans will recognise him from The Wheel in Space and The Sea Devils. He also played Erasmus Darkening in The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Eternity Trap.

Here’s the cast list announced for Hell Bent so far:

The Doctor Peter Capaldi

Ashildr Maisie Williams

The President Donald Sumpter

The General Ken Bones

Female General T’nia Miller

Gastron Malachi Kirby

Ohila Clare Higgins

The Woman Linda Broughton
