The inclusion of a new companion in Doctor Who Season 2 is par for the course in this long-standing series, which often features multiple companions alongside The Doctor. The teaser confirms that both Belinda and Ruby will be integral to the narrative, dispelling earlier rumors that Millie Gibson might exit after Season 14. In fact, Ruby’s character arc concluded with her reuniting with family during the previous season’s finale, leading fans to speculate about her future.

Varada Sethu, stepping into the role of Belinda Chandra, is renowned for her performances in Jurassic World Dominion and Andor. The show’s history indicates that companions can often exit after a brief tenure, as seen with characters introduced in the classic series. However, the latest teaser hints at a promising continuation for Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday, with showrunner Russell T Davies confirming her pivotal role alongside The Doctor and Belinda.
