Doctor Who Is Introducing A Brand New Dalek Type
Doctor Who is introducing a brand new type of Dalek. It's hard to imagine Doctor Who without the Daleks. The Daleks first appeared in Doctor Who's second story, back in 1963, and in truth they're a major reason for the show's success and longevity; there's something undeniably appealing about the irredeemable killing machines, the perfect villains because they are motivated by a genocidal desire to prove themselves the supreme beings of the universe.
Dalek mutants may (largely) stay unchanged, but the Daleks are always updating their technology. Over the years, this has led to the Daleks developing a number of specialized units; the classic series introduced the destructive Special Weapons Dalek, while Doctor Who's 2022 Holiday Special introduced the brutal Executioner Daleks. But it seems Doctor Who is about to introduce a brand new type of Dalek in Big Finish's upcoming audio-novel, «Emancipation of the Daleks.»
