Doctor Who Casts Neil Patrick Harris: First Look Image Released
Doctor Who casts Neil Patrick Harris in an undisclosed but likely villainous role for their 60th anniversary and reveals a first look image of his character. Next year the long-running sci-fi series will celebrate its 60th anniversary, and the BBC has some big plans to mark the occasion. This anniversary is also coinciding with a regeneration between Doctors as Jodie Whittaker is set to leave the role of the 13th Doctor in her next special and Ncuti Gatwa will take over as the 14th Doctor.

Now, yet another name is joiningDoctor Who to film some anniversary scenes.
