'Doctor Who' Season 9: Maisie Williams To Cover 'Quite A Range', Peter Capaldi Teases Episodes 5 & 6
The season 9 premiere is just around the corner, and Clara (Jenna Louise Coleman) will quickly find herself tasked with saving the world when "The Magician's Apprentice" begins. When everything from the stratosphere on up comes to a grinding halt, the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) will be nowhere to be found.
"Where is the Doctor? When the skies of Earth are frozen by a mysterious alien force, Clara needs her friend. But where is the Doctor, and what is he hiding from?" the BBC announced on Friday, according to Doctor Who TV. "As past deeds come back to haunt him, old enemies will come face-to-face, and for the Doctor and Clara survival seems impossible."
To complicate matters, the Master (Michelle Gomez) will bring her own specific brand of chaos to the season opener. Despite what viewers thought they saw in "Death in Heaven," Missy is alive and kicking.
Luckily, Clara and the AWOL Doctor will have UNIT on their side. Jemma Redgrave will return as Kate Stewart for the first half of the two-part premiere.
