Boom
Things may or may not go “boom” on Season 1, Episode 3 of Doctor Who.
Friday’s upcoming installment, aptly titled “Boom,” finds the Doctor and his companion in a high-stakes situation. Here’s a synopsis of the episode per BBC/Disney+:
“Caught in the middle of a devastating war on Kastarion 3, the Doctor is trapped when he steps on a landmine. Can he save himself and Ruby, plus the entire planet… without moving?”

We also have 10 new photos to pore over in anticipation of the next chapter in the Russell T Davies-led new era. Said photos reveal the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) as they attempt not to move while stranded in the middle of a war zone on Kastarion 3.
New Characters
As for new characters, “Boom” will introduce us to Caoilinn Springall‘s Splice Alison Vater, Joe Anderson‘s John Francis Vater, Majid Mehdizadeh-Valoujerdy’s Carson, Bhav Joshi‘s Canterbury James Olliphant and Susan Twist’s Ambulance.
Steven Moffat pens “Boom” with direction by Julie Anne Robinson. This is Moffat’s first episode as a writer since 2017’s “Twice Upon a Time.”

Season 1
Season 1 premiered last week with “Space Babies” and “The Devil’s Chord.” These episodes and the Christmas special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” teased a grand mystery at play regarding Ruby Sunday’s identity and parentage.
Additionally, “The Devil’s Chord” introduced us to Maestro (Jinkx Monsoon), the child of the Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris), both of whom are gods from the Pantheon. Maestro warned about the imminent arrival of “the one who waits,” as did their father in the 60th anniversary special, “The Giggle.”
So, who is “the one who waits”? Who is Ruby? Could our titular Time Lord square off against a god more powerful than Maestro and the Toymaker? Only time will tell.
Doctor Who airs new episodes every Friday at 7 PM on Disney+ and midnight every Saturday on BBC iPlayer.
